NV Henriot Brut Rosé, Champagne, France

This Champagne is not only one of the most unexpected creations by Maison Henriot but also offers an unexpected aromatic profile. The aromas are fresh, elegant, precise and chiseled. Beautiful minerality characterizes this Champagne, elegantly punctuated with very subtle fruity notes, such as white currant.
On the palate, this chalky dimension continues with an almost powerful freshness that gives it all its charm.

ABOUT THIS WINE

The challenge for Maison Henriot was to create a Champagne Rosé that truly reflects Henriot’s style and philosophy putting the art of blending at its core. Thus, Henriot Rosé is a multi-vintage blend as well as a blend of the three main grape varieties in Champagne: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. Each year, the cuvée is produced from a selection of grapes with distinctive aromatic freshness and minerality. The cuvée is also blended with still red wine (produced from maceration of the skins and pulp of the grapes) from a parcel nestled in the heart of the Aÿ Cru. Depending on the year, it represents 8% to 10% of the blend. The Brut Rosé features around 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 10% Meunier, followed by at least 3 years of aging and a dosage of 7g/L.
