The weather eventually turned out to be favorable until\u003cbr\u003e harvest, with a series of heat waves, which ultimately led to good development of\u003cbr\u003e the vegetation and the ripening of grapes.\u003cbr\u003e The year 2012\u003cbr\u003e “Henriot Millésime 2012 is characterized by aromatic heterogeneity and complexity.\u003cbr\u003e The first nose is intense, almost heady. Yet it is counterbalanced a few seconds later\u003cbr\u003e by an incredible elegance with airy and floral notes. The wine is in motion with a\u003cbr\u003e succession of the following aromatic notesr: summer flowers, meringue, ripe fruits,\u003cbr\u003e then fresh summer currants, chalk, minerality, patina... it is an endless impetus.\u003cbr\u003e On the palate, it’s the same ballet coming together, which makes this Champagne\u003cbr\u003e creation so unique and compelling.”\u003cbr\u003e Alice Tétienne,\u003cbr\u003e Cellar Master of Maison Henriot\u003cbr\u003e The words of the Cellar Master\u003cbr\u003e Blending\u003cbr\u003e 54 % Chardonnay - 46 % Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e 6 crus: Trépail, Mailly-Champagne, Verzenay, Avenay in Montagne de Reims and\u003cbr\u003e Avize, Chouilly in Côtes des Blancs\u003cbr\u003e 100% Premiers and Grands Crus\u003cbr\u003e At least 8 years of ageing\u003cbr\u003e Dosage 6g\/L\u003cbr\u003e Recommendations\u003cbr\u003e Serving temperature 9 et 12°C (48 - 54°F).","brand":"Henriot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975736037600,"sku":"104521","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/henriot-brut-champagne-millesime_1.jpg?v=1663887177","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/henriot-brut-champagne-millesime-2008-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
