HISTORY For Maison Henriot, its cuvée Rosé Millésimé is a creation searching a very particular aromatic identity, that only few years can provide. Through a selection of specific wines, Maison Henriot offers a cuvée made of an exuberant, charismatic and rich aromatic expression.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING The year 2015 was marked by high temperatures, episodes of intense heat, and constant drought throughout the growing season. This led to significant heterogeneity in profiles, vine vigor, and agronomic yield among the vineyard plots. The aromatic concentration aimed to be particularly high due to limited grape production and water deficiency. Therefore, it is considered one of the sunnier years of the last decade.
To create the Henriot Rosé Millésimé cuvée, the year must offer strong personalities and expressive character. This was made possible in 2015, thanks to the year’s exceptional richness and aromatic power.
The result of a meticulous selection of vintages from the House’s vineyards, the wines chosen for the blend, notably from Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay, Mutigny, Chouilly and Avize, combine harmoniously in this cuvée. A red wine vinified from a parcel of Aÿ (obtained by maceration of the skins, pulp and juice of Pinot Noir grapes), representing 10% of the total, adds a distinctive touch to this blend.
"Henriot Rosé Millésimé 2015 stands out for its robust characters that express themselves eloquently. Its nose is expressive and charismatic, revealing notes of blood oranges enhanced with a touch of green curry. On the palate, freshness is accompanied by tension and a perceptible structure leading to a finish with elegant tannins.’’
