The second iteration of this new cuvee from Henriot maintains the demonstrative and expressive style that is characteristic of this new cuvee. The 2018 Brut L'inattendue evokes aromas of peach, ripe orchard fruits and lemon intertwined with menthol notes and slightly smoky hints. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and elegantly structured, it’s perfectly balanced with a vinous mid-palate and a long, mouthwatering and mineral finish. This is one of the most exciting cuvees from this house, which recently changed hands.
