Henriot Brut Souverain is the historic cuvée of Maison Henriot, first created by Apolline Henriot in 1808. She aimed to highlight the character of her lands through the creation of a great Champagne. Apolline believed that one year alone could not fully express the personality of the terroirs, so she decided to keep reserve wines each year to craft the final blend. As a result, Henriot Brut Souverain is a blend of different crus, each representing its vineyard through different stages of life.
Cellar master Alice Tétienne describes it as a "ballet of aromas": generous and mouth-watering notes of cake and fresh citrus fruits, complemented by smoky exuberance that evolves into pure chalk. A basket of stone fruits and red fruits adds further complexity, thanks to the diverse range of crus used. The palate mirrors these complexities with a rounded texture and a long, persistent freshness—truly outstanding.
Henriot Brut Souverain NV is a blend of approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, sourced from 29 different crus. This elegant Champagne combines the freshness from the 2018 harvest base—contributing 50 to 70% of the blend—with 30 to 50% carefully selected reserve wines. To enhance its complexity, Henriot Brut Souverain is aged for a minimum of three years, allowing the flavours to fully develop. With a dosage of less than 6 grams per litre, it strikes a perfect balance between richness and finesse.
