From the producer: The quintessence of six prestigious Grands Crus villages that embody Maison Henriot are selected to make the blend (Mailly-Champagne, Verzy, Verzenay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Chouilly) with their most representatives parcels for 2006.

Beyond the expression of a unique vintage, Cuvée Hemera spends at least 12 years ageing in the darkness of our cellars, after few months ageing in tank before bottling in order to reveal its stunning complexity as well as perfect balance.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Henriot's newly released 2006 Brut Cuvée Hemera is showing very nicely, offering up aromas of wheat toast, crisp stone fruit, dried white flowers, smoke and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, bright acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a mouthwateringly sapid finish. The cuvée's rather reductive style marries well with the inherent opulence of the vintage, and it marks a notable step up over the inaugural 2005 in depth and concentration." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 93
"Rich generous hue: gold tinged with hints of green, then a potent aromatic dominated by sherbet, vanillin, redcurrants and praline; the wine immediately assertive and confident, with end of season red apples, fig and praline harnessed in support. The palate is equally complex; initially we have sour honey and Mirabelle plum in the ascendant; then gingerbread, hints of beeswax and even Black Forest gateau! Despite more than a decade on the lees and a modest dosage, it is the richness and generosity which impress at first; more luxuriant, maybe, than the classic Henriot signature, but hallmark elegance and finesse assume control with a little air and a little more time in glass. Thereafter it is the finely poised and almost disciplined finish which provides an elegant counterpoint to the more cavalier declamation of the attack. Dosage: 8g/L. Disgorgement: late 2019."

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"Refined and minerally, with a pleasing plushness to the mouthfeel, this elegant Champagne offers delicate notes of juicy nectarine, grated ginger, toast point and spun honey, all backed by well-knit, zesty acidity, driving the lingering finish with accents of smoke and saline."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"This mature wine is finely structured with a delicate mousse and forward toast and brioche flavors. At the same time, the texture and the white fruits are still there, creating a magnificent Champagne with texture and richness in a taut, tight package."
