Champagne Henriot: The Audacity of Independence. Founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot, Champagne Henriot is one of the few remaining family-owned Champagne houses, with more than 200 years of independence & heritage. The House has cultivated an audacious approach & a distinctive, elegant style of its own, guided by the finest terroirs in the Côte des Blancs & Montagne de Reims as well as a conscious & sustainable approach to the environment. They use a remarkably high proportion of Premier & Grand Cru vineyards (2/3 minimum), long aging on lees, high portions of reserve wines & keep the art of blending at the core of their style & philosophy.
