1998 Henriot Cuvée des Enchanteleurs
/Oh Valentines day! What to drink. Something a little more relaxing like a good rose or something a little more serious like Champagne. Champagne sounded very good! Now which champagne to go with. The classic Veuve Cliquot or Moet? This year we wanted something different and new. I remembered someone talking to me about Henriot a few months ago so I decided to look into Henriot Champagne. When we were opening this bottle I was a little nervous about how much life it had left. Was it going to be flat? As soon as we opened the bottle your heard the "pop" which was a relief. However, I must say that if you didn't drink your glass within 5-10 mins, the Champagne would become pretty flat which I think is expected since the bottle is 17 years old. At the end we were really happy with this bottle. Take a look at our feedback below. If you haven't tried this Champagne I highly recommend you do!

Tasting Notes: The champagne was a darker but perfect golden hue and full of delicate bubbles. To the nose, pear and honey aromas were the strongest. Last, but not least, a sip. Ahhhh. A honey, sweet, smooth flavor. This perfection lingered in your mouth, allowing you in to indulge a while longer with each sip.
