Henriot Cuvee Hemera Brut 2013

"A wonderfully expressive nose of sourdough, acacia, citrus peel, apricots and honeycomb. Some pineapple and grapefruit. It’s explosive on the palate, with mouthwatering acidity and so much tension. Tight bubbles. Drives forward with energy."-James Suckling

"Henriot’s newly released 2013 Brut Cuvée Hemera reveals aromas of blanched almonds, pastry, fresh bread, lemon oil and ripe orchard fruits, a great effort in a particularly cold vintage. Moderately weighted and elegant, it is tense and straight on the palate, with a delicate phenolic structure that paves the way to an ethereal, saline finish enhanced by bright acids and a well-balanced mousse."-Wine Advocate
