Champagne Henriot is an independent, family-owned house in Champagne. The Brut Souverain is the house’s most important wine, both in terms of fame and production, and is made of roughly equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a smaller proportion of Pinot Meunier.
Chardonnay is Henriot’s most important variety, and the portfolio has both a generic Blanc de Blancs wine and the premium Cuve 38, sourced exclusively from grand cru vineyards. Henriot also makes a Demi-Sec and Rosé Brut, as well as a Vintage Brut and Rosé. The Cuvée des Enchanteleurs is at the very top of the range and is only produced in the best years.
Henriot Cuvee des Enchanteleurs Brut 1990
$2,233.00
The texture lends elegance and the acidity provides structure, setting the stage for opulent flavors of coffee, roasted almond, citrus and vanilla. Fine intensity and balance, with a long finish. It’s reaching its peak and should hold there for some years. Drink now through 2015.
