Henriot’s L’Inattendue is a captivating Blanc de Blancs from the grand cru vineyards of Chouilly, showcasing the house’s signature finesse with a fresh, vibrant edge. The 2018 vintage bursts with bright orchard fruits like peach and pear, layered with hints of lemon, menthol, and delicate smokiness. Its medium to full body is balanced by a lively mousse and a long, mineral-driven finish, making it both elegant and approachable. With fine bubbles and a touch of biscuit and almond nougat, this champagne offers a great balance between youthful energy and refined complexity—ready to enjoy now but with plenty of potential to develop in the bottle.
