The Making of the Brut Souverain Henriot Champagne

The Henriot Brut Souverain is a skillful blend of the three main Champagne grape varieties: approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. This cuvée reflects the diversity of the House's terroirs, with 29 different crus, and combines 50 to 70% of wines from the year with 30 to 50% of reserve wines. The grapes come mainly from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims.

The vinification of the Henriot Brut Souverain follows precise techniques to ensure exceptional quality. All vinification and aging take place in stainless steel tanks to preserve maximum freshness and minerality. The wine ages for a minimum of 3 years in the historic cellars of the House of Henriot, allowing the aromas to fully develop. With a dosage of less than 7g/L, this cuvée maintains a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
