Henriot, Champagne (France) Blanc de Blancs Brut NV

($59, Henriot, Inc): Henriot is one of the few producers to make a non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne.  I, for one, am glad they do because it’s a real treat that doesn’t break the bank, like the super premium bottlings do.  Henriot’s has all of the glorious elegance and creaminess you’d expect from a Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay buttressed by a firm, but not an angular, backbone.  Long and fine, it’s a wonderful way to start — or end — an evening.
