The Read
Historic Champagne House
Why go
Henriot is a Reims house founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot. Compare the Chardonnay-only Blanc Souverain with Hemera’s Chardonnay–Pinot Noir blend; contact the house directly before planning any visit.
About Henriot
Henriot offers two useful starting points for exploring its range. Blanc Souverain is Chardonnay from 12 crus, with reserve wines in the blend and at least three years of ageing. Hemera combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from six historic grand cru villages.
Compare the bottles
Begin with Blanc Souverain for the house’s Chardonnay-only blend. Choose a Hemera vintage to see the role of Pinot Noir alongside Chardonnay. The producer publishes technical information for each wine, so check the specific release before selecting a bottle.
Plan before travelling
Henriot lists 81 rue Coquebert in Reims as its contact address. Its Les Aulnois property in Pierry is a reception venue for invited guests; neither address should be assumed to offer a walk-in tasting. Contact the house to ask about current access before making travel plans.
Apolline Henriot founded the house in 1808. Alice Tétienne is its current cellar master, and Terroirs & Vignerons de Champagne acquired the house in 2023.
The takeHenriot suits drinkers who want to compare Champagne blends with different emphases on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, crus and aging. Blanc Souverain offers a Chardonnay-only starting point, while the vintage and Mémoires wines explore particular years and longer cellar aging. For an in-person experience, contact the house about current access and confirm the location before traveling.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot, the Reims house draws on vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs. Its cuvées place different crus and reserve wines in conversation, with Chardonnay playing a prominent part of the range. The house also presents Les Aulnois, near Épernay, as a setting for invited guests to encounter its wines and history.

Tasting Tips
Start with Blanc Souverain if you want to see Henriot’s Chardonnay-led style: the house describes a blend of 12 crus with 30 to 50 percent reserve wine. Compare it with a vintage bottling for the character of a particular year, or a Mémoires release when available for a longer-aged example. Contact Henriot before planning a visit rather than assuming a cellar tour or tasting slot can be booked online.
