Description

An exceptional vintage Brut champagne by Henriot

The producer

Founded in 1808, the Henriot Champagne House has been growing Chardonnay grapes, from the Côte des Blancs, with passion, high and exacting standards for 8 generations. This noble grape variety will later become the defining style of each of the Henriot vintages.

Henriot champagne, greatly appreciated by the Dutch Court, would later become a leading brand among European aristocracy.

Henriot champagnes stand out due to their finesse, their exceptional elegance, their complexity and their radiant richness, thanks to a specific ageing period and a quantity of reserve wines for each cuvée.

The vineyard

Comprising a 35-hectare vineyard, the champagnes by the Henriot Champagne House are partly produced from the most beautiful Premiers and Grands Crus terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims.

The wine

One of Henriot’s most emblematic champagnes, Hemera Brut Vintage Champagne pays tribute to the Greek goddess, Hemera, that is the personification of day.

The vintage

A harsh winter preceded a mild spring. The harvest, carried out in alternating dry, cool and sunny conditions, produced very high-quality grapes.

Vinification and ageing

The clear wines are kept for a minimum of one year in vats in order to preserve the great ageing potential and freshness of this exceptional cuvée.

After bottling, the champagne is aged for a minimum of 12 years on its lees before leaving the cellar.

The dosage of this Hemera cuvée is less than 5g of liqueur per litre.

The blend

The flagship of the Henriot House, Hemera is only produced during exceptional harvests. The purity of this cuvée is the result of a selection of the most beautiful plots of six Grands Crus (Mailly-Champagne, Verzy, Verzenay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Chouilly).

The blend of this Hemera cuvée is composed of an equal proportion of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
