Description
The Domaine is located in the Village of Villers-Marmery on the Eastern side of the Montagne de Reims. In the vineyards of neighboring villages, Grand Crus Verzy and Verzenay (where the Henriet family also own plots) the chalk is deeper within the subsoil and exists as a mass or in large chunks rather than a crushed and accessible part of the topsoil. Still, the vines reach deep here and we are told that the North-Eastern exposure favors a profound extraction of the soil’s mineral influence as the vines work harder to get the nutrients they need. The total holdings of Henriet-Bazin in the three villages amount to almost 15 acres in 37 separate parcels. Marie-Noelle Henriet- Rainon is the 5th generation of Vigneron having succeeded her Dad, Daniel Henriet who is still a large presence and remains a great source of wisdom at the domain today. The primary fermentations are spontaneous and take place in the tank. This Champagne is 100% Pinot Noir from vineyards in the Grand Cru Villages…
