Champagne Henriot Brut Millesime 1989 - 3.0 Liter -
(Champagne, France)

About Henriot Millésime:
When Apolline Henriot founded the House in 1808, she decided to create a Champagne that would allow her to shed light on all her vineyards through the blend of several crus and years, giving birth to the very first cuvée of the House, Henriot Brut Souverain. She also wanted to pay tribute to nature through a vintage Champagne, Henriot Millésime, which is the interpretation of a singular year, the reflection of the Terroirs characteristic of that year, according to the House.

Thus, each vintage is a unique creation, with its own selection of wines for the blend and its own specific aromatic expression.

The Year 1989:
1989 was a precocious year, characterized by great contrasts. Despite significant spring frosts, it turned out to be a warm year, achieving great ripeness.

The Art of Blending:
The House of Henriot wanted to capture the warmth and intensity of this very special year. It has therefore selected eloquent, mature and charismatic wines. Thus, 57% of Pinot Noir from the crus of Verzenay, Verzy and Avenay, and 43% of Chardonnay from the crus of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Trépail, form the blend.

The Words of the Cellar Master:
"This Champagne is an extraordinary representation of a solar maturation. Displaying notes of candied fruits, intense dark chocolate and mocha, but also of bitter orange. It astonishes its incredible freshness in the mouth. It is a charismatic Champagne." -Alice Tétienne, Cellar Master of the House of Henriot
