{"product_id":"2018-henriot-linattendue-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs","title":"2018 Henriot L'inattendue Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough not a grower-producer, Champagne Henriot is one of the smaller houses among the so-called \"Grande Marques.\" They produce roughly 5% of the annual quantity of Veuve Clicquot, for instance. Their Champagnes have always been reliably old-school, in the very best way. Though they are technically a Negociant-Manipulant, their vintage \"L'inattendue\" (meaning, \"the unexpected\") comes 100% from their own vineyards, all from the Grand Cru village of Chouilly. It spent over four years on the lees, and the dosage was 2 grams\/liter, so firmly in the Extra Brut category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blanc de Blancs is spectacular, and will give any top-flight grower's Blanc de Blancs Champagne a run for its money. Notes of Meyer Lemon, pear, vanilla, and a fresh, chalky mineral component not unlike wines from Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, but with perhaps a bit more generosity and less austerity than wines from Mesnil, likely due to the more clay\/chalk topsoil in Chouilly. This is a must-try Blanc de Blancs, and compared to other highly regarded Champagnes from Grand Cru villages in the Cotes de Blancs, it's a relative bargain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REGAL WINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47953232789725,"sku":"G18-006","price":119.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/6270\/9941\/files\/2018-henriot-l-inattendue-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs.jpg?v=1779489040","url":"https:\/\/winesf.com\/products\/2018-henriot-linattendue-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs","provider":"The Wine House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
