chalky minerality

Fine and persistent perlage

Henriot Champagne Brut Souverain NV (1.5L) SF Chronicle - Past Pick chalky minerality"Light gold. Lees accented orchard and citrus fruit aromas are complicated by sweet butter, iodine and smoky minerals. Dry and expansive on the palate, offering lively pear and melon flavors and a refreshingly bitter touch of orange pith. Ample but lithe brut, with very good finishing punch and repeating smoke and pear qualities." Josh Raynolds, Vinous
