Wijnhuis
In 1640, the Henriot family settled in the Champagne region with first and foremost clothing making, but soon added wine to their family activities. After acquiring land to plant vines, the family gains knowledge about viticulture and becomes experts in their terroirs. The treatise "How to cultivate the vine and make wine in Champagne", published in 1718, attributed to Canon Godinot, was a source of inspiration for Apolline Henriot, founder of the Maison Henriot. In 1808, Apolline Henriot, the young widow of Nicolas Henriot, founded Maison Henriot. Owner of a vineyard in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Apolline has a deep love for the Champagne region, the beauty of its vines and its landscapes. This is how her desire was born « To shed light on her country through a champagne ». She then founded the house and created the first Henriot cuvée, now known as Henriot Brut Souverain.
For more than 200 years, Champagne Henriot has been making elegant and perfectly styled champagnes. There has never been a compromise on quality and the pursuit of making the most beautiful champagnes. Today, the estate controls 35 hectares of vineyards, the plots can be found in Avenay, Chouilly, Epernay and Mareuil sur Ay, among others; prestigious terroirs in the Champagne region. The hallmark of Henriot's wines; All cuvées have a large proportion of Chardonnay. The signature of the house; refined, elegant and pure.
