Founded in 1808, Champagne Henriot has long been defined by its historic Chardonnay holdings in the Côte des Blancs, with a high proportion of Premier and Grand Cru sites shaping the house style. Following the sale of the family business, continuity and quality are overseen by cellar master Alice Tétienne, whose vineyard-led approach ensures the house's ethos and standards remain firmly intact.
Viticulture >
A pure Chardonnay, Cuvée 38 is sourced exclusively comprising four of the most prestigious Grand Cru Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs: Chouilly, Avize, Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The Henriot own 17 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards where the soils are predominantly chalk, giving the wines a iodine minerality. These terroirs are planted at a density of 7,500–9,000 vines per hectare with only four vine training systems are allowed: Chablis, Guyot, Vallée de la Marne and Cordon de Royat. Annual yield limits are also strictly applied – a maximum of 13,000 kg/hectare – all of which has to be manually harvested.
