50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir (from that 19% vinified as red wine) From two Grand Cru Terroirs: Verzenay und Verzy Dosage: 7g/l 3 years of bottle maturity Contains 30% reserve wines until 1968 Lukas NOV22: In the nose notes of apple-raspberry with some rosehip as well as hints of cherry and hay flowers, in the mouth apple-raspberry notes, in addition light grapey accents and some raspberry buttermilk, very animating, pleasant acidity and great drinkability. Perfect as an aperitif. Background Story from the winery: Marie-Noëlle likes that her Rosé is not a simple colored champagne but that it clearly marks the aromas of red fruits specific to Pinot Noir Grand Cru from Verzenay and Verzy. For this, she produces its red wine by harvesting the ripest grapes on a south-facing plot located at the bottom of the hills. The southern exposure brings a richness, breadth and body. But this excess of sun also pushes the vines to go underground to hydrate themselves. The accumulation of silt from the bottom of the hill covers the chalk to a great thickness, which deprives the vine of the minerality that Marie-Noëlle did not want for this cuvée. Blended at 19%, the red wine offers a champagne rich in fruity aromas. However, there was no question of making a sparkling red wine, so it was blended with 50% Chardonnay to bring elegance and freshness. But rather than drawing on the minerality of Chardonnay from Villers-Marmery, Marie-Noëlle went to look in these plots of Verzenay so that the chalk is not omnipresent and allows the fruit to express itself fully. The difficulty of this blend and the multiple recepied Marie-Noelle experienced before foinding the perfect blend she was looking for having made me think of the Codex of Leonardo da Vinci, So we decided to baptize the cuvée Léonard. It is therefore a Rosé Champagne that is both powerful and elegant, combining the richness of red fruits, the complexity of the blends and the elegance of our vinifications. Unlike his label companions, Leonard is not on a bicycle but he rides a motorcycle. A beautiful red-raspberry color Monet-Goyon from 1933 which is also in our tasting room. A motorcycle is a bicycle to which an engine has been added to give it power. And Rosé is Champagne to which we have blended red wine which brings all its power. So you understand why Leonardo is the only one on a motorcycle. The character is of strong build, and wears big boots and pretty leather gloves that connect him to authentic and strengh of the Pinot Noir, just like the rosé he represents. But it is no less smiling, attesting to the friendliness and elegance of our rosé.  

100% Pinot Meunier Dosage: 7g/l 3 years of bottle maturity Single vineyard: La Sente au Beurre Terroir: Faverolles & Coëmy Tasting FEB20: juicy fruit with nice acidity, slightly tart, dark, i.e. not only a drinky spruce, also slightly slightly masculine, herbal, harmonious on the finish  

100% Pinot Noir From two Grand Cru Terroirs: Verzenay und Verzy Dosage: 5g/l Bottle maturation: 3 years Contains 30% reserve wines until 1968 Tasting JUL20: Great mixture of generous wineiness and spicy-nutty-complex complexity thanks to the reserve wines. The latter reverberate for a few minutes and give the feeling of having something of very high quality in the glass (that's the way it is, but you almost have to say it because the price is so extremely cheap). Very harmonious, but also something strong-gripping mixes with it, i.e. has character. Slightly bitter but very pleasant. Tasting JUL21: Generous, full-bodied aromatics, ultra juicy, beguiling fruit, wonderful drinking companion

50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir Dosage 0g/l 3 years of bottle maturity 70% base vintage, 30% Perpetuelle Reserve (since 1968) The new cuvée from Marie-Noelle and Nicolas is about respect. Respect for the founders and ancestors of the winery: It all started with Gaston Henriet, Marie-Noelle's great-grandfather. He owned vineyards in Verzenay that were mainly planted with Pinot Noir and, like almost all of them at the time, sold his grapes to the cooperative. In 1890 he decided to produce champagne under his own name and Champagne Henriet was born.There was a generation on the side of the later married-in Bazin winery, another key figure: Louise. Louise had a great love for the Chardonnay vines and vineyards in Villers-Marmery and looked after them with great devotion as if it were her own garden. These two people form the backbone of today's Champagane Henriet-Bazin winery and Nicolas and Marie Noelle try to follow the ideals established at the time with carefully introduced innovations. This cuvée is also about respect for nature and its processes, which you have to understand in order to create a cuvée that is so coherent in itself that it does not require a dosage. This cuvée, made in equal parts from Pinot Noir (Gaston) and Chardonnay (Louise), is dedicated to these two important people, whose work and passion have shaped the perspective of the two winemakers and laid the foundation for their appreciation and attention to nature. The tadem on the label means that you don't necessarily have to be faster as a couple, but you can certainly get further :) Tilman JAN24: A multi-layered cuvée that starts off as winey and spicy and reaches a long mineral finish supported by fine brioche aromas. Tasting MRZ21: Very little attack, Pinot takes the stage first, the aroma melts at the back and the fresher, more elegant Chardonnay prevails, nice nutty finish. Straight but not too sparse despite the zero dosage, because of the vinous, pinot-fruity aroma. Powerful. lively and juicy! Tasting JUL21: Very juicy, strong drinking flow, high quality fruit, nice mix of red fruits and mature yellow fruit, straight, spicy and aromatic, consistent, restrained acidity, very nice nutty finish, crisp, develops more complex flavors over time   

100% Chardonnay Dosage 0g/l At least 7 years of bottle maturity Nicolas: "It's our daughter's name. During the 2004 harvest, my wife Marie-Noëlle tried every must directly from the press, as she normally does. She had the feeling that three plots of old vines gave a very good taste: ripe, complex, elegant ... everything she loves. So she decided to let some of these pressings mature together. In February, during the base wine tastings, these plots confirmed that they had the potential to make a great vintage. Since my wife gave birth to our daughter in 2004 (December, so she was pregnant during the harvest), she naturally decided to dedicate this beautiful cuvée to her. Then, year after year, the vines continue to age and when the vintage gives it, Marie-Noelle still assembles this vintage. The vines face east on a thin layer of silite with a base of gravel and pure chalk. The eastern exposure gives the balance between photosynthesis and minerality. On the label is a girl, very well dressed, but with a natural style, because this cuvée is elegant, with finesse, but without makeup, only with the natural taste. The girl is carrying a bird cage, but the cage is open. It should show that we are open to nature and that nature should sing and express itself in a natural way. Life in nature is life. It is a metaphor for our method of taking care of the vines and the soil.” Tasting SEP20: Very nice wood note, relatively salty, makes it super exciting, a bit more pressure and presence than Eusebe, you can't taste Zero, also has something delicate, nice Chardonnay fruit, chalky, chalky. Tasting JUL21: very fresh, puristic, still somewhat closed, very straightforward character   

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay From three Grand Cru plots in Verzenay and Verzy Min. 6 years bottle ageing Dosage: 5g/lTilman OCT24: Like the racing bike depicted on the label, this cuvée is grippy, slender, elegant and racy. Yet red fruity and with a fine yeast flavour, wonderfully balanced.Fabio OCT24: Ripe citrus, black bread rind, delicate fine oxidation, very elegant & complex, fine perlage on the palate, ripe red fruit, beautiful saltiness, a pleasure to drink with a lot of sophistication. Nicolas: "Arsène is the first name of the son of Jérôme, our friend who has worked with us for many years now.Baptizing a cuvée Arsène means integrating Jérôme a little more into the history of our house. On the label, Arsène is very elegant, like the vintage it characterizes. He is tall and his posture oscillates between rigor and relaxation, attesting that this wine, despite its Grand Cru origins and its vintage, remains accessible and supple.The cane is an instrument aimed at enhancing the elegance but also the balance of the cuvée.As for the bike, connoisseurs will notice that it is an old racing bike, (equipped with its cans of course) affirming the racy side of this great vintage."

100% Chardonnay Dosage: 4,5g/l At least 3 years of bottle maturity vinified in oak barrels Nicolas: "There is no special meaning behind this name. It's just a name that my wife Marie-Noelle and I really like. A long time ago we had the desire to mature our basic wine in wooden barrels (otherwise we still use enamel tanks but no stainless steel). At first we used used barrels from Burgundy, but this solution did not support our terroir as wine and barrels do not come from the same area. Next we bought new barrels, which were also made from French wood and hoped that our terroir could spread there and take possession of the wood. But we still weren't satisfied with that. There was still a lack of energy. Finally we found a manufacturer who agreed to make oak barrels from our forest. It was the only way for us to respect our terroir and make a champagne that only comes from our village. The oak was from the Chardonnay site of Villers-Marmery, so we made a single-variety Chardonnay cuvee. Hypolite on the label is well dressed, but more like a gentleman-farmer style because the character of the cuvée is stronger: strong but elegant. There is a “baby” oak on the front of the bike. Because he felled an oak for the barrel, he wants to plant a new one for the next generation. And because we work with the moon phase at every step, Hypolite searches for the moon to find the best place and the best moment for it." Tasting SEP20: Genreous prelude with present but fine wood aromas, salty towards the back, with honey and vanilla notes, slim in delivery due to low dosage, also has something classy, with minimally bitter notes, wonderful character! Still young at the moment, will become even more generous over time.
