Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 10 notes) | |
| Tasted by UTPK on 1/31/2010: From magnum. Still very young in its expression. Not very toasted, but very clean grapey nose. It is a well made elegant champage, one you would like to drink again and again. Not very heavy, and clearly fills another need than e.g. Selosse or Krug (also pricewise...) (73 views) | |

| Tasted by Nanda on 9/13/2006 & rated 91 points: Dinner at Bin Wine Cafe (Chicago, IL): Dark straw to gold in color with a yeast-filled nose accented by citrus fruit. The palate is still tight with good structure and zippy acid. Features a delicious savoury bread profile. Seems to have very good aging potential. (1470 views) | |
| Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 12/13/2005: 1996 Horizontal, with Chef de Cave from Henriot, Moet and Roederer (London): 47% CH 53% PN, Disgorged May 2000. From Magnum Much more approachable, round full ripe body, my favourite of the Henriot wines (2084 views) | |
| Tasted by vinosseur on 11/28/2005 & rated 88 points: The Henriot family has been est in Champagne since the 16th Century. They began to sell Champagne in 1808. Its still a family run business. This Champagne is about 40%Chard and 60%Pinot Noir. It 's a light straw yellow.. On the nose it has quite a toasty nose with some yeast present. Also present on the nose are some mushroom nuances. On the palate again the smokey, toasty notes appear. Some yeast and honey are also present. Some green apples, nice acidity, not too harsh. It has a nice soft mousse. There also light oak nuances present. In my opinoion, this Champange is nice and easy going. Its not terribly complex and the aftertaste is not too lengthy or complex. I would say that this Champagne is slightly above average, but not much more. I would drink it now and I wouldn't let it sit beyond the next 2-4 years. (1414 views) | |
| Tasted by Veraison on 3/5/2005: Tasting at Fin: Somewhat sherried nose in the sense that the wine is slightly oxidized and nutty with an interesting cocoa powder note to the palate. Decent. (386 views) |

| Definition of "sparkling wine" at Wikipedia
The typical champagne blend is of three grapes - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Wines labeled as 'Blanc de Blancs' are by definition all Chardonnay, and wines labeled as 'Blanc de Noirs' contain Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier or both in the blend. There are how ever three addtional grape varieties planted (Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc) and used in Champagne, they could be called legacy grapes and do not represent significant portion of the grapes used (<0.01%?). It is not permitted to plant more of these varieties. Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia) Le Champagne (Le comité interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne) France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France. Sub-Region: Champagne - The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. |
