A really strong showing this weekend. Our bottle was a blend of the 2016 and 2017 vintage and was decanted for 2 hours prior to dinner. This was showing pronounced flavor intensity with a restrained ripeness of fruit more akin to a ripe left bank Bordeaux rather than Napa. Very well integrated use of new french oak which added to the flavor complexity of the wine. A medley of dark black fruit, toasted cedar, and savory spices.

A nice showing from Henriot. 100% Chardonnay - 2/3rd sourced from Premier & Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote de Blancs. Nice linear citrus precision with significant toasted notes from both lees ageing and use of reserve wine.

Pure class. High short grained persistent tannins and restrained red fruit, potpourri, and spice. Enjoyable now with a long life ahead of it. One of the most consistent wines vintage after vintage. Best cooperative in the world? I think so..
