SKU: CHFR20150279
Henriot Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 is a refined vintage Champagne that captures the unique character of the exceptional 2015 growing season. Crafted from 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, it is aged for at least eight years on the lees to achieve remarkable depth and elegance. Aromas of black fruits, citrus, smoky minerality, and subtle toast lead to a precise, vibrant palate with fine mousse, refreshing acidity, and a long, mineral finish. With its low dosage of 2.5 g/L, this sophisticated vintage Champagne is an excellent choice for fine dining, seafood, poultry, and special celebrations.

Henriot Millésime is the interpretation of a singular year, the reflection of the terroir’s characteristic of that year, according to the Maison. Thus, each vintage is a unique creation, with its own selection of wines for the blend and its own specific aromatic expression.
When Apolline Henriot founded the Maison in 1808, she decided to create a Champagne that would allow her to illuminate all her vineyards through the blend of several crus and years, giving birth to the very first cuvée of the Maison, Henriot
Brut Souverain.
She also wanted to pay tribute to nature through a vintage Champagne, Henriot Millésime, which is the interpretation of a singular year, the reflection of the terroirs characteristic of that year, according to the Maison. Thus, each vintage is a unique
creation, with its own selection of wines for the blend and its own specific aromatic expression.
The year 2015 was marked by high temperatures, episodes of intense heat, and constant drought throughout the growing season. This led to significant heterogeneity in profiles, vine vigor, and agronomic yield among the vineyard plots. The aromatic concentration aimed to be particularly high due to limited grape production and water deficiency. Therefore, it is considered one of the
sunnier years of the last decade.
«This 2015 vintage possesses great charisma. It is unique and goes far beyond the
sunny character of the year. Indeed, it is refined, elegant, powerful, and displays
remarkable freshness. On the nose, black fruits, intense minerality, as well as woody
and smoky notes, captivate. The palate is precise, meticulously crafted. The tasting
experience is marked by its straight structure, solidity, and distinction.»
