The Making of Champagne L'Inattendue 2018 Henriot

The L'Inattendue 2018 cuvée is a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly, located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. This prestigious terroir is distinguished by its pure chalk, which gives the wine exceptional minerality. The grapes, carefully selected, come from vines with ideal exposure.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and minerality of the grapes. Aging, with a minimum duration of 4 years, occurs in the brand's cool cellars, giving the wine remarkable aromatic complexity. The dosage, reduced to 2 g/L (Extra Brut), highlights the purity and elegance of this singular cuvée.

The 2018 Vintage

The year 2018 was marked by optimal climatic conditions in Champagne. A cool winter was followed by a mild and humid spring, and then a hot and sunny summer. These conditions allowed for perfect ripeness of the grapes, resulting in generous and balanced wines. The harvest, carried out with care, revealed chardonnays of exemplary finesse and precision.
