Henriet-Bazin

The terroir-loving geologist!

Champagne Henriet was founded in 1890 by Gaston Henriet in Villers-Marmery (Montage de Reims). His grandson Daniel united the terroirs of both families in 1968 by marrying Micheline Bazin, also from Villers-Marmery, to form Champagne Henriet-Bazin.

The domaine is now run by the fourth generation, Marie-Noëlle and Nicolas, who was able to convince his father to vinify the entire harvest himself. They own around 8 hectares of vineyards, which are classified as Grand Cru (Verzenay & Verzy) and Premier Cru (Villers-Marmery).

Nicolas is not only a cycling enthusiast, but also a geologist. He is passionate about the different terroirs. Both passions are reflected on the stylish and creative labels. Marie-Noëlle is responsible for the vinification. Her passion is to blend the different sites, plots, grape varieties and vintages to create unique terroir cuvées.

A speciality is the use of reserve wines over 50 years old. This produces aromatic and harmonious champagnes that are always fresh, juicy, full of finesse and complex.

Henriet-Bazin Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut

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

Henriet-Bazin Cuvée Marie-Amélie Millésime 2015 Brut Nature

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

Henriet-Bazin Cuvée Arsène Millésime 2015 Grand Cru

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."
