Description
What kind of wine is it
Henriet Bazin Champagne 1er Cru Selection de Parcelles Brut is a Premier Cru Champagne. Created from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it follows the Traditional Method, enhanced by the use of reserve wines in the Solera system. On the nose, it offers earthy aromas, biscuits, linden blossom and kiwi. As it breathes, it releases hints of chlorophyll, blackcurrant and pistachio. On the palate, the initial impression is fresh with a lively creamy effervescence, dense aromas of candied fruit, star anise and acacia honey. The minerality accompanies the sip, while a fine acidity leads to a soft finish, ideal with starters.
Where does it come from
This blend originates in Champagne, in the Montagne de Reims area. The vineyards of Villers-Marmery, Verzenay and Verzy are situated halfway up the slope with an east to north-east exposure. The vines of mixed ages grow on soils managed with natural grassing and periodic ploughing. The subsoil of pure chalk, covered by fine silts and silty clay, is reflected in the glass, imparting its unmistakable mineral texture and a pleasant sensation of softness.
How is it produced
The must is obtained from the first pressing of the grapes. After cold settling, the wine rests in enamelled tanks and completes malolactic fermentation. To this base, a portion of reserve wines kept in partially filled barrels according to the Solera method is added. The long ageing on the lees in bottle takes place in the estate's cellars. Disgorgement is carried out six months before release. The Brut dosage enhances the fruit's characteristics, ensuring impeccable balance.
History and Curiosities
Since 1890, the Henriet-Bazin house has upheld a precious family tradition with the Sélection de Parcelles, a noble cuvée born from historic vineyards located between Villers-Marmery, Verzenay and Verzy. Classified as Premier Cru, this Champagne is produced exclusively from the first pressing and enriched with fine reserve wines managed using the Solera method. The long ageing on the lees in enamelled tanks and the patient maturation before release bestow a delightfully creamy effervescence.

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
