Must-see 2013 Henriot Champagne Brut Cuvee Hemera ~ Selling Fast [EyuksSr3]

96 James Suckling - A wonderfully expressive nose of sourdough, acacia, citrus peel, apricots and honeycomb. Some pineapple and grapefruit. It’s explosive on the palate, with mouthwatering acidity and so much tension. Tight bubbles. Drives forward with energy. 

93 Wine Advocate - Henriot’s newly released 2013 Brut Cuvée Hemera reveals aromas of blanched almonds, pastry, fresh bread, lemon oil and ripe orchard fruits, a great effort in a particularly cold vintage. Moderately weighted and elegant, it is tense and straight on the palate, with a delicate phenolic structure that paves the way to an ethereal, saline finish enhanced by bright acids and a well-balanced mousse. This blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir was disgorged with a dosage of 3.5 grams per liter and is a great effort in the context of the vintage.

Named for the Greek goddess of daylight, Henriot Hemera is the pinnacle of winemaking at Champagne Henriot. The 2013 is a blend of the six founding crus, with each represented in equal part, through a singular year.
