About the winemaker
Today, the estate controls 35 hectares of vineyards. These vineyards are found, among others, in prestigious Grand Cru villages such as Avenay, Chouilly, Epernay and Mareuil-sur-Ay prestigious terroirs in the Champagne region. The house carefully selects the parcels, each of which has its own contribution to one of the two top cuvées and which are all worked according to the rules of organic viticulture. Chardonnay has a large contribution to the various cuvées and comes mainly from the Côtes de Blancs. For the CUVE 38, the grapes come mainly from Chouilly, Oger, Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus and Cramant.

Details
| Vineyard | On the winegrowing hillside of the Côte des Blancs, different chalk facies are visible, from the bottom of the hillside to a high limit. This chalk is covered, on the upper part, by hard clay and limestone from the Tertiary (65 to 25 million years ago). The Grand Cru of Avize is an integral part of the Côte des Blancs. It is revealed here through Henriot L’inattendue 2016 which perfectly reflects this geological profile. Historically, Chardonnay has been planted on this Terroir, offering a perfect balance between soil, vine and climate. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | Grapes from Avize were vinified separately from other villages. When tasting the still wines in April 2017, this Grand Cru was selected for L'Inattendue. This champagne was bottle-aged for a minimum of 4 years and has a dosage of 4 gr/litre. |
