Winemaker / Tasting Notes

Pale gold in colour, the colour of this champagne is sparkling with subtle green highlights. The beautiful effervescence offers fine and regular bubbles. The nose is concentrated and expressive. Intense floral (honeysuckle, orange blossom and lime blossom) and fruity aromas blend harmoniously with spicy and brioche notes. The palate is ample with a lively attack and reveals aromas of slightly toasted brioche mixed with notes of quince paste and acacia honey. Gourmet and persistent, the finish has a slight mentholated note.

This Blanc de Blancs champagne by Henriot will perfectly express all its finesse and its character as an aperitif. This champagne will also complement (blue lobster from Brittany with lemongrass), fish (sole from a small boat with semi-salted butter) and also with meat (confit of rabbit with wild thyme and mirabelle plums, supreme of farm poultry stuffed with foie gras, grilled potatoes).
