NV Henriot Brut Rosé, Champagne, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
The challenge for Maison Henriot was to create a Champagne Rosé that truly reflects Henriot’s style and philosophy putting the art of blending at its core. Thus, Henriot Rosé is a multi-vintage blend as well as a blend of the three main grape varieties in Champagne: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. Each year, the cuvée is produced from a selection of grapes with distinctive aromatic freshness and minerality. The cuvée is also blended with still red wine (produced from maceration of the skins and pulp of the grapes) from a parcel nestled in the heart of the Aÿ Cru. Depending on the year, it represents 8% to 10% of the blend. The Brut Rosé features around 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 10% Meunier, followed by at least 3 years of aging and a dosage of 7g/L.
