Henriot Brut Champagne Souverain NV

93 points Ines Salpico (Decanter): "A classic and for good reason, consistently delivering approachable complexity and unpretentious elegance. Citrus freshness, fleshy orchard fruit and smoky nuttiness. Marked yet poised acidity driving a delicious, vibrant finish with lingering toasty notes. (Jun 2022)"

93 points Anne Krebiehl (Falstaff): "The nose opens with salty, almost miso-like savouriness. With air a real sense of ripe Mirabelle comes through. The palate is rich and fresh and quite a few notches up from your normal brut sans année. A lovely autolytic depth, elegant foam and real savouriness pervade this. Bravo. (11/12/21)"

91 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2024 in Australia; base vintage 2018; disgorged March 2023; 45% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay, 15% meunier; 29 crus; 30-50% reserves; aged at least 3 years on lees; 7g/L dosage). A crunchy Brut Souverain of apple and pear fruit, without the oxidation that it showed in my last tasting. Grapefruit zest, apple and beurre bosc pear meet the ginger nut biscuits and brioche of long lees age, carrying a finish of zest and spice. One bottle presented by the house showed oxidative heaviness on the finish. (2024)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$65 list] A refreshing, well-balanced Champagne, with a refined mousse. Offers flavors of white cherry, poached pear and brioche, showing accents of lemon curd and candied ginger underscored by minerally hints of oyster shell and smoke. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now. (11/30/24)"

91 points Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com): "Notes of sourdough, lemons, hazelnuts, apricot pastries and figs on the nose.
