Henriot Champagne<\/span><\/a> is an esteemed Champagne house in the village of Reims<\/strong>, notable because it has remained independently owned by the same family since its inception in 1808. This is quite interesting in the French wine industry, and certainly in the luxury world of Champagne, where many houses are owned by large international corporations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Henriot Champagne: What you need to know<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The house was founded by young widow Apolline Henriot and her family line has remained at the helm in the more than two centuries since. The wines of Henriot Champagne<\/strong> run the gamut of Champagne styles<\/a>, from non-vintage brut and ros\u00e9 to special vintage cuv\u00e9es and a signature <\/span>Blanc de Blancs Champagne<\/span><\/a>, made from 100% Chardonnay from the C\u00f4te des Blancs villages of Le Clos l\u2019Abb\u00e9 and Chouilly. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Henriot Champagne family maintains vineyard land of roughly 35 hectares throughout Champagne, throughout the key regions including the Vall\u00e9e de la Marne<\/strong>, the aforementioned C\u00f4te de Blancs<\/strong> and the Montagne de Reims<\/strong>. It is the village of Reims that Henriot Champagne proudly calls home, and its great <\/span>maison<\/span><\/i> sits proudly along Rue Coquebert. Reims is the ideal situation for a top Champagne house, and Henriot finds itself in very good company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located approximately 130 kilometres northeast of Paris, the city of Reims is a treasure trove for Champagne lovers<\/a>. Alongside Epernay and Ay, it forms the beating heart of the Champagne wine region. Its population is over 180,000, though it maintains something of a village-like charm all the same. It is among the top wine tourism destinations in France<\/strong>, alongside other regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy.<\/span><\/p>\n
