Champagne Henriot

Champagne Henriot is a prestigious and family-owned champagne house located in the heart of the Champagne region of France. Founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot, the house has remained in the hands of the Henriot family for over 200 years, with each generation passing down their knowledge and expertise in the art of champagne making.

The Champagne region, located in northeastern France, is known for its cool climate and chalky soils, which are ideal for growing the three main grape varieties used in champagne production: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Champagne Henriot sources its grapes from some of the best vineyards in the region, including the prestigious Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, ensuring the highest quality of grapes for their champagnes.

One of the unique characteristics of Champagne Henriot is their commitment to aging their champagnes for an extended period in their cellars. While most champagnes are aged for a minimum of 15 months, Champagne Henriot ages their non-vintage champagnes for at least 3 years and their vintage champagnes for 6 to 8 years. This extended aging process allows the champagnes to develop complex and refined flavors, making them truly exceptional.

The house produces a range of champagnes, from their classic Brut Souverain to their top-of-the-line Cuvée Hemera, which is only released in exceptional vintages. Each champagne is a reflection of the house's dedication to quality and their deep understanding of the unique terroir of the Champagne region.

Champagne Henriot has received numerous accolades and awards for their champagnes, solidifying their position as one of the top champagne houses in the world. Their commitment to excellence and tradition has earned them a loyal following of champagne enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
