Henriot Brut Souverain Champagne

Henriot Brut Souverain Champagne

The Brut Souverain is the most historical cuvée of the House as the first cuvée produced by Apolline Henriot in 1808. She aspired to put the light on her vineyards through the expression of a champagne.
According to Apolline, one year was not enough to tell the story of the terroirs, so she decided to put wines in reserve each year to incorporate them into a future blend. Therefore, she founded the House by creating a Champagne that would have blending as its fundamental principle.

Symbolising precision and balance, Brut Souverain by Henriot carries the quintessential expression of the great Champagne terroirs. The exceptionally high proportion of Chardonnay (50%), balanced to perfection with Pinot (45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier) can be thanked for the unique character of this Champagne. Each year Laurent Fresnet, Henriot’s Cellar Master, is able to create the ultimate blend with outstanding consistency to replicated Henriot’s unique signature style. Each bottle is then left to rest for more than 3 years in the cool, calm surrounds of our cellars in Reims.

With this champagne, the Maison Henriot tells the story of all the crus of its vineyard, making the Brut Souverain a multi-cru, multi-vintage blendof the three main Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. This cuvée was named Brut Souverain by Ernest Henriot, Apolline’s grandson, when the House was appointed the official champagne supplier to the Courts of the King of Holland and of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary.
