The Champagne Cuvée Hemera 2008 in magnum format from Henriot shows a fine perlage and a bright golden color. On the nose it offers discreet aromas of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, with light notes of toasted bread and white flowers that open up over time in the glass. The palate is marked by a fresh, saline texture; measured acidity supports the material without overpowering it, resulting in harmony and good persistence.

Intended for convivial moments and special occasions, the magnum enhances the sense of concentration and allows for a slower, more relaxed tasting. It pairs well with raw and cooked seafood, shellfish, fish dishes and soft cheeses, and is equally pleasant as an aperitif. To best express its qualities, serve it chilled, around 8–10 °C, and open the bottle carefully to preserve the bubbles. Those who wish to wait may enjoy further aromatic development, but each bottle should be judged individually.

Discover the story and wines of Henriot (Maison Henriot).

Maison de Champagne founded in Reims in 1808 by Apolline Henriot; still family-run and producer of the historic non‑vintage cuvée “Brut Souverain.” ([champagne-henriot.com](https://www.champagne-henriot.com/fr/histoire))
Region: Champagne (Reims)
Country: France
Winery history
The Henriot family settled in Champagne as early as 1640; Apolline Henriot founded the Maison in 1808. Over time the holdings expanded to include crus from the Côte des Blancs (e.g. Avize, Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger, Chouilly) as well as the Montagne de Reims (Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly). Keeping reserve wines for blends dates back to the House’s origins; recent initiatives include the “Alliance Terroirs” program (from 2020).

Production philosophy
A pursuit of elegance, finesse and terroir expression; a balanced style with significant Chardonnay presence in the cuvées and systematic use of reserve wines to ensure continuity and complexity. Commitment to soil knowledge and adaptive viticultural practices (Alliance Terroirs project). ([champagne-henriot.com](https://www.champagne-henriot.com/en/collection/henriot-brut-souverain))
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards and sourcing in Champagne: Montagne de Reims (including Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly‑Champagne) and the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger, Chouilly); the Brut Souverain cuvée is assembled from about 29 crus. ([champagne-henriot.com](https://www.champagne-henriot.com/fr/histoire))
