The low dosage of this cuvee plays its part in retaining and enhancing the natural beauty of the primary fruit. Notes of pastry and spiced fruit impart the lengthy finish. This freshness complements the notes of ripe peach, nectarine and grapefruit.

Precise and mineral, a layer of iodine and saline accents are the characteristic of the most prestigious chalk parcels of the Côte des Blancs. The magnificent freshness on the palate contrasts with the nose. Candied fruit notes of apricot at the front of the palate pave the way for a hint of spice. The bouquet offers a wealth of elegant aromas, featuring notes of white flowers, linden leaf, and underpinned by a hint of vanilla. The Champagne is brightly-tinged and golden yellow in appearance. The delicate bubbles form a steady stream of mousse with divine effervescence. Henriot Hemera, taking its name from the Greek goddess of daylight, has been launched as the house's new top Champagne and replaces Cuvée des Enchanteleurs. This exceptional year, in pure Henriot style, brings great ageing potential to this elegant and generous Champagne, which will evolve resolutely over time. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in perfect balance will transport Champagne lovers to a world of subtle sensations presenting springtime freshness, mineral character and a breadth of aromas spearheaded by fruit notes.

As soon as the first grapes were picked, we knew this was going to be a great harvest, which only became more apparent throughout the ageing and blending process.
