Henriot — Brut Souverain

Brut Souverain

Henriot | Brut

The Henriot Brut Souverain is an excellent spontaneous companion to fresh fish and seafood. A menu that's simple and works beautifully: Scallops with lemon and salt, sea bass and dorade grilled simply, asparagus, eggplant and broccoli with lemon, chili and salt.

Why the Henriot?

Assemblage: 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier. 29 Crus united – from Montagne de Reims to Côte des Blancs. Reserve wines: 30-50% provide depth and consistency. Aging: more than 3 years on lees for complexity. Dosage: under 6 g/L – beautifully dry, but with structure.

The fresh acidity and minerality perfectly capture the citrus notes of the scallops. Sometimes the best pairings are the ones you don't overthink.

Tasting Notes

Fresh acidity and minerality define this dry champagne. The structure harmonizes beautifully with seafood and citrus notes.
