Cuvée Hemera

VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING  2013 was one of the coldest and wettest vintages on record. It was punctuated by a dry, sunny summer, although there were some stormy episodes. The rains accompanied the late harvest in October, requiring the grapes to be patient before reaching maturity.

Henriot Hemera 2013 is a blend of the six founding crus, with each represented in equal part, through a singular year, that makes it a Millésime.

Each Vintage of this Champagne is a continuation of the Maison Henriot historical terroirs, where the character of the year is revealed. The terroirs offer a base, a structure, a charisma. The year offers intensity, a division of roles, an expression, a translation, a hierarchy.

“The year 2013 offered a substance rich in freshness, tension and acidity. These elements have given Cuvée Hemera 2013 a profile of precision, detail and lace.

On the nose, fresh and candied citrus fruits, lemony notes, a frank minerality, and an almost heady smokiness come through. On opening, subtle notes of toast and dried fruit accompany the nose.

On the palate, it is a continuity, with a salivating tension, a frank and straightforward structure, accompanied by a finish sprinkled with tannins, giving it a fine length.”

Alice Tétienne, Cellar Master of Maison Henriot
