Champagne Henriot

Winemaker: Alice Tétienne Primary Appellation: Champagne
Varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier
Apolline Henriot founded the house in 1808 with the desire to illuminate her land through the creation of a great champagne.
For more than two centuries, Maison Henriot continues to pay tribute to Apolline by
perpetuating her vision of the vine and wine.
When the Maison was founded in 1808 by Apolline Henriot, the vineyard was located on 3 Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly-Champagne. It was exclusively composed of Pinot Noir.
In 1880, Paul Henriot, 4th generation of the family, married Marie Marguet, from a family that owns Grands Crus in the Côte des Blancs. Plots of land in Avize, Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger became part of Maison Henriot’s vineyard, which was then planted mainly with Chardonnay.
For more than two centuries, Maison Henriot’s vineyard has been expanding. Today it is made up of 29 crus.
The Henriot family has always played a role as protector and promoter of the Champagne region. Today, the family focuses on the preservation of the vineyards and the terroirs.
Through the Alliance Terroir project, initiated by Alice Tétienne in 2020, the House of Henriot is adapting its viticulture practices in favour of the vine and its quality, but also to the environment. It implements positive actions to reduce its impact on the environment and supports their partners in this regard (HVE, VDC certification, organic conversion, etc.).
Maison Henriot promotes biodiversity, contributes to the beautification of the vineyard, helps research and develop new tools. Each of these actions is dedicated to Apolline’s wishes and aim to write collectively Champagne’s history.
