Champagne Henriot Brut Millésimé 2006

Country: France

Region: Champagne

Type: Sparkling Wine

Grape: Chardonnay/Pinot Noir

In total over 15 Premier and Grand crus make up the Brut Millésimé 2006, mainly from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims: Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Chouilly, Mareuil-surAÿ, Avenay, Verzy and Verzenay. Equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is aged for more than 10 years on the lees. 

Pale yellow color. The nose is minerally, revealing notes of candied raspberries and strawberries, and fresh hazelnuts.  As it has matured, it has developed a ripe yeasty/ toasted character, along with a beautiful patina of intense spice, and minerality along with great complexity. This is a rich and luxurious wine with a long, elegant finish.
