The production of Henriot's 2014 vintage champagne

The 2014 vintage is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, selected from the best terroirs in Champagne. The grapes come from six Premiers and Grands Crus, including Trépail, Mailly-Champagne, Verzenay, and Avenay in the Montagne de Reims, as well as Chouilly and Avize in the Côte des Blancs. Each cru brings a unique dimension to this exceptional cuvée.

The Chardonnay imparts remarkable freshness and minerality, while the Pinot Noir brings a complex structure and a rich aromatic palette. This cuvée has been aged for at least eight years in chalk cellars, offering optimal maturity and perfectly integrated aromas. The dosage, reduced to 5 g/L, highlights the purity of the wine without masking its personality.

The 2014 vintage

The year 2014 was marked by contrasting weather conditions. After a mild winter and a rainy spring, the summer alternated between cool and warm weather. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach great maturity and perfectly balanced acidity, resulting in complex and expressive wines. The 2014 vintage thus reflects all the richness and diversity of the Champagne terroirs.
