AboutHenriot
The Henriot family settled in Champagne in 1640, trading in cloth and wine before investing in vineyards. Apolline Henriot founded the Champagne house in 1808, drawing on family vineyards in Verzy, Verzenay and Mailly-Champagne. In 1880 the marriage of Paul Henriot and Marie Marguet brought Chardonnay vineyards from Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly alongside the house’s Pinot Noir holdings across Montagne de Reims.
A systematic study of vineyard soils began in 1920. Joseph Henriot expanded the reserve-wine collection in the early 1970s. In 2020, cellar master Alice Tétienne began coordinating Alliance Terroirs, a vineyard project focused on adapting to climate change and improving environmental practices.

French Wine
$349.99
Even gold in colour, with a fine mousse and aromas of brioche, lemon meringue and jasmine. Pear and ripe yellow apple add fruit depth, while vanilla cream, hazelnut and oyster shell bring savoury complexity. The palate is rich but well shaped, with clear acidity and a lightly saline edge maintaining freshness. Rounded and mature, it finishes with lingering citrus, toasted nuts and sea-spray lift.
Champagne Henriot NV Blanc de Blancs Brut
French Sparkling
$128.99
Lemon zest, green apple and white flowers lead into brioche, pastry and a touch of wet chalk. The palate is elegant and focused, with a fine, lacy mousse carrying apricot, lime peel and quince. Chiselled acidity keeps the creamy texture bright, while biscuit and mineral notes linger on the harmonious finish.
