Henriot Cuvee Hemera with Gift Box 2006

The delicate bubbles form a steady stream of mousse with divine effervescence. The Champagne is brightly-tinged and golden yellow in appearance. The bouquet offers a wealth of elegant aromas, featuring notes of white flowers, linden leaf, and underpinned by a hint of vanilla. Candied fruit notes of apricot at the front of the palate pave the way for a hint of spice. The quintessence of the great terroirs. The magnificent freshness on the palate contrasts with the nose. Precise and mineral, a layer of iodine and saline accents are the characteristic of the most prestigious chalk parcels of the Côte des Blancs. This freshness complements the notes of ripe peach, nectarine and grapefruit. Notes of pastry and spiced fruit impart the lengthy finish. Uniquely irresistible. The low dosage of this cuvee plays its part in retaining and enhancing the natural beauty of the primary fruit.

An exceptional Champagne with unique ageing potential. To enjoy immediately or to keep for a further 5-10 years in the safety of a dark cellar to allow the Champagne to further flourish over time. For food-wine pairings, dare to enjoy with exotic and spicy dishes such as tagines or pad thai, meat in sauces and even game… Some meals suggestions : poultry with morel sauce, tagine with raisins and almonds, lobster with chili cream, turbot and marinated peppers, scallops with truffle, poultry and corn puree.
