Henriot Souverain NV (OCC 6)

Description

By Decanter (D92)
Toasty nose. Well-mannered with a creamy mousse, an impressive light texture, bready flavours and light mineral notes on the finish.

By Tom Cannavan in 2019 (TC91)
Based upon the 2013 vintage, dosage around 9 g/l. Biscuity, yeast complexed Pinot dominating, and a lovely yellow fruited juiciness on the mid-palate. An unconscious sipper of a wine, blink and its gone. Drink now until 2022, great quality to price ratio.

By Wine Spectator (WS91)
A crisp and minerally Champagne, with well-cut acidity and a lightly chalky texture that frames flavors of crunchy pear and lemon sorbet with accents of oyster shell, pickled ginger and toasted brioche. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now.

By Wine Enthusiast (WE91)
The standard nonvintage from this producer benefits from its policy of blending in a high percentage of older reserve wines. That gives the wine its richness and smooth, ripe character. Hints of apples are still there along with a good balance between acidity and toastiness. Drink now.
