Henriot Rose Brut NV Champagne
Grape
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Its Origins
"For over 210 years the Henriot family has symbolised an innovative approach and has remained independent. This chardonnay dominant champagne house incorporates an exceptionally high proportion of Premiers and Grands Crus in its cuvées, which come from the best Chardonnay parcels. Producing only 1.3 million bottles a year, this family owned house features a long-aging style and a focus on Chardonnay. Says 8th generation managing director, Thomas Henriot: "I do not like wines that go in strange directions. I like to know where we are and where we are going. Full malolactic fermentation provides soft structures, with dosages between 8 and 11 g/L." Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide Pale Pink.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Decanter
""Spicy baked red and blackberry nose with a whiff of struck-match. The palate offers almond cake and red berry notes and glimpses of butter, nuts and lemon macaroon. A very good rose to match salads and barbecued fish. High-pitched aromas of red berries, blood orange, ginger and chalky minerals, with an element of Asian spices emerging with air. Juicy, spicy and firm, showing surprising volume and very good energy to the spice-accented blood orange and strawberry flavors. This silky, penetrating, linear Champagne carries no excess fat. Closes on a dusty mineral note, with excellent clarity and length."
93/100 Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"The discrete Henriot labeling is echoed in this elegant wine. Like so many Henriot Champagnes it has good bottle age, shows toast as well as light red fruits. There is a depth of flavor here, the texture of yeasty mousse and apple skins going right through the taste. Ready to drink, but worth aging."
93/100 Wine Spectator
"A beautiful range of aromatic spices accents the white raspberry, pastry and pink grapefruit notes in this harmonious rosé . There's tension to the knit of vibrant acidity and chalky texture, driving this to a lasting, minerally finish."
