Cuvée Hemera Brut 0,75L Champagne AOP Grand Cru

In 1808, when Apolline Henriot founded Maison Henriot, her vineyards were located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims in the crus of Verzy, Verzenay and Mailly-Champagne. In 1880, thanks to the marriage of Paul Henriot (4th generation of the family) and Marie Marguet, a young girl from the Côte des Blancs, three more crus have joined the Henriot vineyards: Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly. As a symbol of this union of terroirs, the Henriot family decided to create a Champagne named Henriot Cuvée Hemera.

2006 was a solar vintage, both generous and capricious. Indeed, various episodes of hail, frost and rain have marked the particularly hot climate, especially in the summer.

Henriot Cuvée Hemera is a blend of the six founding crus, with each represented in equal part, through a singular year, that makes it a Millésime. Each Vintage of this Champagne is a continuation of the Maison Henriot historical terroirs, where the character of the year is revealed. The terroirs offer a base, a structure, a charisma, a hierarchy. The year offers intensity, a division of roles, an expression and a translation.
