Henriet-Bazin

The House of Champagne Henriet-Bazin is located in the heart of Montagne de Reims, reigning over a vineyard of 7.76 hectares, some of which are classified as Premier Cru around the town of Villers-Marmey and Grand Cru around the towns of Verzy and Verzenay. 

Marie-Noëlle Rainon-Henriet is now the fourth generation to manage the family Domaine, in a very committed approach to the environment and the preservation of biodiversity. While she manages the vinification of her wines, her husband takes care of the work in the vineyard.

What is the history of the House of Champagne Henriet-Bazin?

It was in 1890 that Gaston Henriet decided to found his house with two winegrower friends of Verzenay. At that time, all of the grapes produced by the winegrowers were sold to the large trading houses, Gaston Henriet and his friends wishing to have total control over the vinification of their production and its marketing. His son Robert took over in 1930, followed by Daniel in 1962 who married Michelle Bazin, a winegrower's daughter in Villers-Marmery. From their union was born the definitive name of the company: Henriet-Bazin. Their daughter Marie-Noëlle took over the operation in 1991, and since then she has never ceased to pay tribute to her family roots thanks to Champagnes of great finesse.

Description Henriet-Bazin Blanc de Blancs.

House Henriet-Bazin serves up a very special Blanc de blancs. These Chardonnays all come from Montagne de Reims, from the village of Villers-Marmery in Premier Cru, the only village to exclusively bear Chardonnay in this territory mostly devoted to Pinot Noir. to be more precise, they come exclusively from 3 parcels: "Sous la Ville", "Fosses" and "Voie des Puits".

The blend includes 30% Réserve wines from a solera started in 1968, and spends 9 months on lees in enamelled vats. This is followed by 3 years' ageing in the cellars of Domaine. After disgorging, a dosage of 5g/L is applied, making this a Extra brut.

This single-terroir Blanc de blancs expresses all the freshness and minerality of the pure chalk found at Villers-Marmery. The nose is very expressive, with warm notes of candied fruit, honey and toast, highlighting the high proportion of Réserve wines. Freshness returns on the palate, followed by a sensation of sweetness (white flowers) and generosity (juicy yellow fruit). The finish is energetic and full of finesse, with fine bubbles and noble chalky bitters.

This Champagne is the perfect accompaniment to crayfish gratin, or to a truffle-flavored Brie de Meaux.
