Henriot, Champagne (France) Brut 2005

($78, Henriot, USA): Henriot is one of the most under-rated of the major Champagne producers. Their prestige bottling, Les Enchanteleurs, is consistently a stunning wine. And their vintage bottling never disappoints. This 2005 has the ripeness of the vintage offset by uplifting, not aggressive, acidity. Creamy and precise, it has exceptional length and richness. It’s a real treat. 94 Michael Apstein Dec 11, 2012
