Henriot Millésime is the interpretation of a singular year, the reflection of the terroir’s characteristic of that year, according to the Maison. Thus, each vintage is a unique creation, with its own selection of wines for the blend and its own specific aromatic expression.

“If the expression is intense and heady, it is nevertheless of an extraordinary finesse and elegance. A strength of character emerges, powerful, virile yet restrained and humble. The register is fresh, floral, vanilla, greedy. In the mouth the structure is solid, constructive, rectangular. The tannins take place and last after tasting. The freshness is present throughout the tasting, ending with a delicate bitter touch.”
