Enjoy it now, or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. This Blanc de Blancs is crafted from 100% Chardonnay, harvested from three specific plots in Villers-Marmery – an island of white grapes within a sea of Pinot Noir in Montagne de Reims. With a significant portion of reserve wines in the mixture, this Champagne is rich and textured, showcasing scents of white flowers, honeysuckle, lemon, and brioche. Champagne Henriet-Bazin is a small-scale artisan winery, drawing from 8 hectares of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. As the name indicates, Henriet-Bazin was born from a merger of two families in 1968, when Daniel Henriet joined forces with Micheline Bazin. Today, it is run by their children, Marie-Noëlle and Nicolas, who boast expertise in both geology and winemaking. This wine spent 9 months ageing on the lees, before spending 3 more years maturing in Henriet-Bazin’s cellars. It is generous and invigorating in the mouth, bearing warm flavours of orchard fruits, a healthy dose of citrus, and white flower ornamentations. It also has a mineral-rich chalky aspect, typical of the Villers-Marmery terroir. Ideal for special occasions, this Champagne will be an excellent partner for seafood gratin, soft cheese, or carpaccio.
