1 Complex, developed, creamy, bread and hazelnut aromas. Richness Lovely NV Champagne. Gold Medal WINE SPECTATOR - October 2013 Drink now through DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS Stylish, smoky lemon nose. Fresh and zesty palate with a good grip. Big savoury style and good lenght. Henriot s Brut Souverain offers a delightfully crunchy-yet-creamy, slaw-like amalgam of fresh apple, celery root, grapefruit and almond, to which a whiff of elder flower adds aromatic allure. The lush mid-palate takes a faintly oily turn even as tart citricity wells up with greater impact, leading to a luscious finish that irresistibly urges one take the next sip. I fancy this being best enjoyed over the coming year. 90/100 REVISTA DE VINHOS (Portugal) - Summer ,5/20 BRUT SOUVERAIN

Food-loving Champagne This esteemed Reims house is often better known for their straight brut, but their Chardonnay-based effort sourced from throughout the Côte des Blancs and elsewhere matches a fruity apricot and biscuit side to a distinct austerity on the palate.

3 WINE SPECTATOR - December 2013 A rich and toasty version, featuring roasted almond, brioche, honey and graphite light-footed, carrying flavors of dried cherry wild strawberry and licorice. Drink now through /100 Henriot s NV Brut Rosé exhibits a shade between onion skin and pale orange unusual enough that some consumers might feel as though the word rosé had misled them. But they shouldn t be disappointed once they sniff and taste. There is a fascinating combination of ripe tomato, fresh lime, and red currant laced with orange rind, smoky black tea, and saliva-including salinity. Ten grams of residual sugar are not noticeable as such, but no doubt precisely that fact is evidence of their positive supporting role. Medium-deep peachy color. Lovely toasty nose, with finely integrated gunpowder notes on the top of peach caramel and coffee. Delicious nose. Fresh, zesty, smooth and lively, with complexity and depth. Highly elegant and skillfully crafted. Nothing accidental in this beautiful wine.
