DESCRIPTION
Brut Souverain is the flagship cuvee of Champagne Henriot, one of the oldest family owned houses.
The lowdown:
With around 40% Chardonnay, most of which is grown on the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, in the blend this charming Champagne has a lightness of touch and real elegance. And being aged for three years on its lees and one in bottle before release gives it extra layers of complexity. It's full of honeysuckle and brioche notes and has a surprisingly lengthy finish.
When to drink:
A creamy, toasty and sophisticated Champagne which goes well with food as well being a superb aperitif.
Suitable for Vegans
PRODUCER
Champagne Henriot

In 1791, Nicolas Henriot settled in Reims and started a negociant business. His subsequent marriage to Apolline Godinot brought a dowry of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Following Nicolas' death in 1808, the widow Henriot founded the maison. Henriot's close association with Chardonnay dates back to another important wedding in 1880 when Paul married Marie Marguet, owner of vineyards in the Cotes des Blancs. Today Henriot is one of those rare family Champagne maisons, still independently owned and managed by the eponymous family continuously since its beginnings. Joseph Henriot has maintained the commitments made by the previous generations as the head of the Maison - commitments that consist of selecting the best crus, enhancing Chardonnay's purity and giving each cuvée time to develop fully.
Since 2008 his son Thomas Henriot has been gradually stepping into his father's shoes, representing the seventh generation to lead the family company. He continues to preserve the House's 'historical' spirit while instilling in it a new dynamism. Chef de Cave is Laurent Fresnet who epitomises their high standards in which he found recognition in being the International Wine Challenge's Sparkling Wine Maker of the Year for two years running in 2015 and 2016.
