Cuve 38
The perpetual reserve
When Apolline Henriot founded Maison Henriot in 1808, she created a unique savoir-faire, of which the Art of Blending is a fundamental principle. To pay tribute to Apolline, Joseph Henriot created in 1990 a Perpetual Reserve. He decided to dedicate this cuvée to the Côte des Blancs, one of the two historical sectors of the Maison, and to Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety that grows in these crus. Each year, Joseph brings in an extract from the new harvest and tastes the resulting blend. It was only 17 years later, following the blending of the 2007 harvest, that Joseph Henriot decided to bottle this creation, which was then named after its original vat: Cuve 38.
“Henriot Cuve 38 offers a tasting that awakens the senses. The beauty of its history, its visuals and its aromas cannot leave one indifferent. This blend of wines from each harvest for over 30 years offers a multitude of nuances and great complexity. If the older wines soberly patinate the aromatic profile, the more nascent harvests give a sensation of eternal youth. Each generation of wine meets, mingles and tames over time, forming a seamlessly coherent and surprisingly harmonious whole. Henriot Cuve 38 is a Champagne that evokes lace. Precision and elegance are its hallmarks.”
