Blanc de Blancs

Henriot's Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay, with more than two thirds coming from Premier and Grand Cru sites on the Côte des Blancs. A high proportion of reserve wines, 40%, and a low dosage shape the style. It ages for four to five years before it leaves the house. On the nose it shows minerality and the freshness of citrus fruit. The attack on the palate is lively and powerful, and the spring-like freshness remains. Complexity and length are not everyday qualities in a blanc de blancs.

Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. It works as an aperitif but also holds its own at the table, for example with fish and seafood. The bottle comes in a gift box and makes a good present.
