Henriot Brut Millésime 2015 is a vintage Champagne from France’s Champagne AOC built on a near-even split of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The house reports a blend of 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay, sourced from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, with key crus including Verzenay, Avenay, Mutigny, Trépail, and Chouilly. In keeping with its positioning as a drier style, this bottling is released as Extra Brut with a low 2.5 g/L dosage, and it is notable for extended maturation: multiple sources cite “more than eight years on the lees prior to disgorgement.”

Critical reception is strong, led by an excellent 95-point review from James Suckling (Aldo Fiordelli). Fiordelli emphasizes a controlled, mineral profile, calling it “restrained, citrusy and stony,” with flavors of “lime peel, garden peas and chalky minerality.” He also highlights the structure, describing a “tense, tight palate,” which aligns with the low dosage and long lees aging—choices that typically favor precision over overt sweetness.

Owen Bargreen also rates it highly at 94 points, likewise underscoring the extended lees contact (“more than eight years on the lees”), which generally contributes savory complexity and a more layered, finished feel on the palate.

For those looking for a slightly broader expression, Essi Avellan, MW, provides a complementary view with a 92–94 point assessment, noting a “ripe, expressive nose layered with toast and sweet orchard fruit” and a palate that is “broad and mouth-filling.” Taken together, the reviews suggest a Champagne that balances citrus-and-chalk clarity with lees-derived toastiness, delivering intensity without excess.

Reported alcohol levels vary by source (12.0% vs. 12.5%), but stylistically the message is consistent: this is a firmly dry, structured vintage Champagne aimed at drinkers who value restraint, mineral drive, and aging-derived complexity.
