The Henriot range comprises the NV Brut Souverain, an NV Blanc de Blancs, a Rosé, a vintage Brut, a vintage Rosé, the prestige champagne Hemera, and an outlier, Cuve 38.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008: Supreme Elegance And Ethereal Grace

/0 Comments/in , /by

Individual champagnes rarely seem to attract the pre-release anticipation that we sometimes see with other wines.

For well over 200 years, since 1812, the Collin family had worked vineyards in the region and for a century of that time also worked as coopers. The family vineyards were first lost, then recovered, and now the firm goes from strength to strength, slowly but surely building the crown as king of the Grower movement.
