Henriot Cuvee Hemera Brut with gift box 2008

"This elegant Champagne is all about finesse, from the creamy, pointillism-like bead to the fine china frame of acidity to the delicate mesh of roasted hazelnut, quince paste and dried apricot flavors and accents of verbena, white truffle and saline. Don't rush this one -- sit and sip. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. " - Wine Spectator

"Dried flowers, dusty chalk, hazelnuts, hints of licorice, white pepper, dried apples and dried pineapples on the nose, with underlying Meyer lemon character. Sleek and elegant, with very fine bubbles and a zesty and vibrant finish. 50% each chardonnay and pinot noir from the six founding crus." -James Suckling
