95pts Wine Enthusiast

Packed with fruit while hinting at mature toastiness, this wine is now in perfect balance. Its white fruits are from half-and-half Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, shot through with acidity while having a ripe character. Rich while also crisp, it is ready to drink.

You will never see me turning down vintage Champagne, and the 2008 Henriot is an excellent effort. TASTING NOTES: This wine is fresh, complex, and lasting. Its aromas and flavors of ripe stone fruit, yeast, and earth should pair it well with roast chicken over crisp spinach and arugula. (Tasted: March 14, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Rich brioche and tropical fruit nose. The palate brings notes of herbs and baking spice, plus citrus acidity. Very long, stony finish.

92pts Wine Spectator

An elegant version, featuring expressive ripe white peach and strawberry fruit flavors, layered with biscuit, kumquat, smoky mineral and ground ginger notes. Finely knit and creamy in texture, with vibrant acidity driving the racy finish. Drink now through 2028.

Winemaker Notes 

Clear, gold and sparkling in appearance. Tiny, delicate bubbles. Citrus fruit and yellow fruit aromas dominate on the palate, together with vine peach and nectarine, and a discrete floral, blossom dimension. Subtle notes of honey and candied lemon bring a full-flavored edge, together with silky character. Freshness and airy lightness command on the palate. Grapefruit, apricot, citron, and fresh citrus fruit come to life, followed by lingering notes of pate de fruit, yet constantly underscored by great minerality. Very long, refined, silky, and refreshing on the finish. Low dosage brings with it exquisitely harmonious balance.
