The latest rendition of the NV Brut Rose exhibits aromas of red berries, dried white flowers and smoky suggestions of lemon rind. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with tangy acids, a youthfully effusive mousse and a precise, delicately chalky and sneakily persistent finish. It’s a vibrant, nicely balanced rose Champagne that will likely reward a year or two of bottle age. A blend incorporating 35% reserve wines, this was disgorged July 2018 with a dosage of less than nine grams per liter.

THE ART OF BLENDIND

Crafted by adding pinot noir red wine to the blend, this Champagne expresses the very best of Montagne de Reims pinot noir (50%) and meunier (10%), while preserving the fresh mineral character of chardonnay (40%).

Henriot Brut Ros? also contains precious reserve wines which make up 35% of the blend. Every bottle is then left to rest in the cool, calm surrounds of our cellars for 3 years. This vintage is dosed at less than 9g/l.

THE SENSES

Pale pink in appearance and tinged with copper, with a fine and persistent bead in the glass. On the nose, this Champagne may surprise with its characteristic, complex intensity and

appealing fruit-driven style. Red and dark berry fruit aromas of raspberry, strawberry and crunchy cherry, followed by freshly squeezed lemon, pink grapefruit and mandarin orange. Vegetal notes then follow in succession, offering blackcurrant bud and cloves, together with delicate iris-scented powder and finishing on delicious notes of candid fruits. Well-balanced on the palate, revealing incredible, unashamed persistence. Attractive balsamic and floral flavours pave the way for spicy notes, in a wave of great freshness. The tasting culminates in a lingering touch of sweetness.
