Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut by Henriet Bazin is a rigorous and faithful expression of its terroir. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour and a fine, lively perlage. On the nose, the Champagne reveals a bouquet of floral aromas combined with yeasty notes and delicate mineral hints. Made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine, crafted according to the Traditional Method, offers a fresh, balanced palate with long persistence. The low Extra Brut dosage enhances its purity, making it ideal to accompany starters, cheeses, and fish-based dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, upholding the legacy of Henriet Bazin. Since 1890, the winery has operated as an independent winegrower, highlighting the authenticity of the Grand Cru. The vineyards are cultivated following sustainable and organic viticulture practices, excluding the use of herbicides to encourage grassing and protect biodiversity. Vineyard work is carefully aligned with lunar cycles to obtain grapes of excellent quality. This artisan approach reflects a deep dedication to the land and the unique pedoclimatic characteristics of the area of origin.
How it is produced
This cuvée is the result of a careful selection of grapes, vinified according to the Traditional Method. The subsequent refermentation is followed by ageing on the lees for at least ten years, a crucial stage that imparts structure and ensures perfect integration of the aromas. The low residual sugar, just 0.4 g/l, defines a crisp, fresh and well-balanced sip, capable of preserving the original expressiveness of the fruit and offering an elegant, lingering finish.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the Henriet-Bazin maison, founded in 1890, the Champagne Grand Cru Romance 2012 embodies the genuine dedication of an independent winemaker. This exquisite cuvée is born from a careful selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, followed by a long maturation in the bottle of at least ten years. The company adopts organic and sustainable practices across its fifteen hectares of vineyards, respecting lunar cycles and using natural grassing instead of fertilisers. The result is a pure, artisanal Extra Brut that remains true to its terroir.

His son Robert Henriet took over in 1830 and kept ont working. Driven by the enthusiasm for Champagne de Vignerons, he developed his clientele through fairs in Paris, Lille and Lyon.
In 1962 Daniel Henriet, grandson of the founder, was 16 years old when he decided to take over and study wine before joining his brothers on the family estate. A few years later he met Mademoiselle Micheline Bazin, daughter of winegrowers from Villers-Marmery whom he married in 1968. The union of their two families gave birth to Champagne Henriet-Bazin … I would not arrive until a few years later.
After spending my childhood in my father’s boots, I joined the house in 1991 and decided to keep all of my harvest for vinification.
Respect for nature, the land, the vines, our wines and our customers Respect is knowing how to listen. And for over 15 years now, we have been listening to the whispers of nature and have come to understand it better. Abandonment of weedkillers, respect for insects, grassing of our vines, sowing of plants to replace fertilizers, work in harmony with the lunar cycles … Read more
