94 Points - James Suckling
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.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Now well mature, this Champagne has a slight dominance of Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. It balances citrus and green-apple flavors against its toast and spice.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
A firm and focused Champagne, with a subtle overtone of minerally smoke and brine. Lacy in texture and finely knit, this offers layers of yellow apple and pear fruit, marzipan, lemon preserves and aromatic accents of toast and white flowers. Creamy and mouthwatering on the lingering finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now.
92+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With the 2012 Brut Millesime, Henriot's positive evolution begins to become apparent. A blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir, disgorged with less than six grams per liter dosage, it offers up aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, freshly baked bread and green apple, followed by a medium-bodied, brisk and precise palate. Built around a bright spine of acidity and enlivened by a pillowy mousse, it will take on additional depth and dimension with a few years on cork. Best after 2022.
91 Points - Wine & Spirits
This wine's blend accentuates its red fruit component, with 40 percent Pinot Meunier and 15 percent Pinot Noir. That shows in brisk strawberry flavors with a touch of sweetness, the fruit clean against the wine's yeasty maturity and mineral notes.
