Description
Nouvelle cuvée de Prestige de la maison Henriot, Hemera vient remplacer la cuvée des Enchanteleurs. Son style plus élégant et frais traduit mieux la philosophie de cette maison. Assemblage 50% pinot et 50% chardonnay issus de terroirs grand crus et dosé en Extra brut, il a vieilli 12 ans dans les caves de la maison. Fruité, frais et minéral, il s’appréciera pendant encore plus de 10 ans, aussi bien en apéritif qu’en accompagnement d’un repas.

Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

The inaugural release of the new tête de cuvée from Henriot, the 2005 Cuvée Hemera is a blend of equal parts Chardonnay (from Chouilly, Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger) and Pinot Noir (from Mailly, Verzy and Vezernay) that was aged for 12 years sur lattes and disgorged with five grams per liter dosage. The wine is still quite tight-knit after its recent disgorgement, unwinding in the glass with a refined bouquet of ripe citrus fruit, crisp yellow apple, lemon confit and freshly baked bread. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and concentrated, with a layered, tight-knit core, racy acids and a precise, chalky finish. It's a very creditable effort in the challenging 2005 vintage—and a Champagne that I admired for its depth and precision—so it will be interesting to taste future releases from more propitious years.
