Henriet-Bazin, Rose Champagne, Grand Cru, Leonard

Henriet-Bazin is a small grower producer located on the eastern edge of the Montagne de Reims, in the village of Villers-Marmery. Villers-Marmery is largely east facing with a pure, crushed chalk topsoil that is planted almost exclusively to Chardonnay. This rosé champagne is sourced entirely from Montagne de Reims Grand Cru sites in Verzy and Verzenay, with an addition of Chardonnay for an elegant mineral lift—50/50 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, from hallowed ground. There’s a healthy 30% dose of solera reserve wine in here which dates back to 1968, adding complexity and depth.
