Champagne L’Inattendue 2018 by Henriot presents fine bubbles and a lively perlage. On the nose it shows an elegant, restrained profile: perceptions of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, light floral hints and a touch of bread crust contribute to an overall sense of balance. On the palate it is fresh and sapid, with good structure supporting a persistent, clean finish. The character remains refined without excess, suited to those seeking a classic-style sparkling wine.

Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs with fish dishes, shellfish and light vegetable preparations; it also matches soft cheeses and delicate appetizers. Serve well chilled, around 8–10 °C, in tulip or flute glasses to concentrate the aromas and preserve the perlage. Boxed, it is also suitable as a gift. Store in a cool place away from direct light. Recommended for those who appreciate fine bubbles and straightforward drinkability.

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))
