From Champagne Henriot in France's Champagne region, the Rosé Millésime Brut 2012 is a refined blend of 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier sourced from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards on chalky soils in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims that impart finesse and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the exceptional 2012 vintage—marked by a cool wet spring, warm summer, and Indian summer yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo gentle pressing and primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle via the traditional method and extended lees aging of at least 8 years before disgorgement to develop complexity and creaminess. With a low dosage of 8 g/L, this production emphasizes purity and aging potential, yielding a pale salmon sparkling wine with persistent fine mousse and remarkable vibrancy.

Tasting Notes A vinous rosé Champagne with blood orange, red berries, and peach aromas, offering a satiny texture, ripe racy acids, and a saline, fruit-driven finish. The nose exudes smoke, raspberry, and brioche, with subtle pear, melon, and floral notes. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and harmonious, with vibrant acidity, delicate creaminess, and flavors of citrus, baked apple, and toasted almonds, leading to a long, balanced finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2012 Rosé Millésime Brut earned 93 points from James Suckling for its open inviting profile with gentle nutty undertones and long persistence, and 97 points from Decanter World Wine Awards for its elegant, impressively long expression.

Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to preserve effervescence. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, poultry, or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, during which it will develop enhanced autolytic and nutty nuances.
