Champagne Henriot L'Inattendue 2016 Review
Apolline Henriot fell in love with the hills of Champagne. After her family moved from Lorraine she secured her legacy in the region establishing Maison Henriot in 1808. Today eighth generation Gilles de Larouzière Henriot continues the estate's tradition. Apolline would be proud of this bottle. It's the definition of what the world has come to expect from quality Champagne. A nose of pastry dough welcomes the senses and is balanced by subtle fresh citrus lifted by the bubbles. The palate is aging nicely with well-integrated brioche and a delicious note of lemon curd.
