Maison Henriot (founded 1808) uses AI within its Alliance Terroirs Project (launched 2020) for precision viticulture to combat climate challenges and enhance sustainability. By utilizing drone and tractor-mounted cameras to analyze soil and vine health, Henriot optimizes vineyard management. This data-driven approach supports their move toward organic certification (granted Jan 2025) and HVE/VDC sustainable certifications.
Henriot Brut Millesime 2012 is made from 54% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir.
Henriot Millésime 2012 is characterized by aromatic harmony and complexity. The nose is intense, almost yet counterbalanced by elegant, airy and floral notes of summer flowers, meringue, ripe fruit, currants, chalk, and minerality. The palate confirms the complex, layered notes of minerality, fruit, and flowers.
Review:
Now well mature, this Champagne has a slight dominance of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. It balances citrus and green-apple flavors against its toast and spice.

A fragrant nose with aromas of apples, pears, brioche and candied citrus. Round, silky and balanced with fine bubbles and a flavorful, minerally finish. Full-bodied with a creamy texture and wonderfully soft fruit. Highlights the balance of the 2012 vintage. A blend of 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir.

Straw-yellow with greenish nuance. Hints of green apple,white peach and aromatic herbs. Pleasant flavor and freshness.
