Henriot Hemera Brut 2013 — white

Taste and character

From the six founding grands crus of Maison Henriot comes Hemera 2013, a vintage that unites the historic terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée is a tribute to the origins of the house and conveys the character of one single year. The cool and demanding 2013 harvest year, with late ripening under changeable weather conditions, called for patience and precision and resulted in a Champagne with pronounced freshness, tension and refinement. In the glass, Hemera 2013 is bright with a subtle golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens with fresh and candied citrus fruits and lemony notes, followed by a pure mineral line and a light, intriguing smokiness. With aeration, delicate aromas of toast and dried fruit emerge. The palate is taut and precise, with a tingling, saline freshness and a mouth-watering tension. The structure is linear and elegant, with a long, refined finish in which fine tannins provide extra grip. Hemera 2013 is a true blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from grands crus: Verzy, Verzenay and Mailly-Champagne in the Montagne de Reims, and Avize, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. The wine was aged for at least ten years and finished with a low dosage of 3.5 g/l, which underlines the clarity, precision and finesse of the blend. Serve this Champagne chilled, ideally between 9 and 12 °C. It shows beautifully with refined seafood, light lobster dishes, festive starters with citrus or delicate smoked fish, but is also effortlessly convincing as a gastronomic aperitif. Henriot Hemera 2013 is a Champagne for lovers of elegant, terroir-driven vintages: already particularly refined and expressive today, with enough structure and acidity to develop further in the cellar over the coming years.
