2008 Champagne Henriot

THE ART OF BLENDING The quest for absolute harmony and the virtue of time. A blend comprising some ten Premier and Grand Cru Villages, this vintage celebrates what could only be described as a unique year. As soon as the first grapes were picked, we knew this was going to be a great harvest, which only became more apparent throughout the ageing and blending process. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in perfect balance will transport Champagne lovers to a world of subtle sensations presenting springtime freshness, mineral character and a breadth of aromas spearheaded by fruit notes. This exceptional year, in pure Henriot style, brings great ageing potential to this elegant and generous Champagne, which will evolve resolutely over time. THE VINTAGE YEAR 2008 A mild winter followed a relatively dry autumn, with wetter weather gathering momentum until the spring. Fine, sunny weather during harvesting ensured grapes were perfectly ripe and healthy, of superb quality, and showing a freshness worthy of only the greatest vintages
