The champagne Champagne Henriot L'Inattendue, vintage 2016 from the winery Champagne Henriot has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region Champagne in France.
Amalfi lemon and butter combine on the nose just as they do in raw, buttery shortcrust pastry with grated lemon zest. More air and more temperature simply amplify that wonderfully ripe, sunny, buttery lemon scent and suffuse it with ozone. The palate then adds drive that is bedded in buttery generosity and cool, cool chalk, accentuated by lively mousse. This is rich and linear at the same time, informed by lemony energy and backed by rich, creamy autolysis. The finish is very clean and zesty and reveals the depth and richness of the wine.
