A 375ml bottle of Champagne is a beautiful thing. Champagne Henriot has been making bubbly in Reims since 1808 and the 7th generation of Henriots still own and run the place. Their house style is delicate, intense, and concentrated on the pureness of Chardonnay. Elegant. White flower, citrus. — 8 years ago
