The 2015 vintage offers a solar, generous expression, perfectly balanced by the freshness and salinity that define Henriot’s terroirs. Cuvée des Enchanteleurs 2015 reveals a wine of structure and energy: Chardonnay brings purity and tension, while Pinot Noir unfolds depth and texture. On the palate, precision reigns, yellow fruits, candied citrus, acacia honey, and a long, mineral finish. A Champagne of emotion and light, made for longevity and memory
Cuvée des Enchanteleurs 2015 is crafted exclusively from the six founding Grands Crus of Maison Henriot: Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly-Champagne. Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger
An equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this cuvée is only created in exceptional years, when nature offers a flawless expression of these terroirs.
Each bottle then ages for over ten years in the quiet darkness of our cellars, reaching perfect harmony and balance. This blend reflects Henriot’s philosophy: a dialogue between place, grape, and time, where each element finds its rightful place, free from excess or artifice.
Since its founding, the Maison has been driven by the passion of individuals who have captured the essence of Champagne’s true terroir, passing this unique expertise from one generation to another. Originally from Lorraine, the Henriot family settled in Champagne in 1640. Nicolas Henriot married Apolline Godinot, who owned prestigious Pinot Noir vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Together, they devoted their time and energy to the family vineyards and selling wine. On the death of her husband in 1808, Apolline launched Maison Henriot. In 1880, Marie Marguet, the wife of Apolline’s grandson, added to the family’s collection of vineyards with several plots in the Côte des Blancs. This firmly established Maison Henriot in the prestigious Chardonnay vineyards. Today, using the finest Blancs de Champagne which are at the heart of its history, Henriot adds an exceptionally high proportion of Premier and Grand Crus to its cuvées which come from the finest Chardonnay parcels.
