NV Henriet-Bazin - Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Villers-Marmery (750ml)
Price: $58.00
In Mixed Case: $52.20
Henriet-Bazin is a small grower and producer located on the eastern edge of the Montagne de Reims, in Villers-Marmery. Villers-Marmery is largely east-facing with a shockingly pure white, crushed chalk soil that is planted almost exclusively to Chardonnay. When Marie-Noelle Ledru's importer asked her where they could find another quality source in the Montagne de Reims, Ledru did not hesitate before naming her neighbor … also named Marie-Noelle! Marie-Noelle Henriet-Rainon is the fifth generation of vigneron in the family who has taken responsibilities over from her father (Daniel Henriet) who remains active at the domain to this day. The Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru is crafted from vineyards that have been in the Henriet-Bazin family holdings since 1890, currently planted to 25-50 year old Chardonnay vines on average, growing in nearly pure chalk with a fine silt topsoil. For this 2020 release, 70% of the input is hand-harvested fruit from the 2020 vintage, with the remainder made up of a collection of reserve wines from 1968-2019. This wine ages for 3 years on its lees, and is a Brut champagne with 7g/L of dosage.
