The story
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))
