Rating: 93 –93

The 1998 Brut Cuvee des Enchanteleurs flows from the glass with juicy yellow peaches, apricots, mint, flowers and light honey. The wine shows gorgeous textural depth along with an utterly refined, impeccable mousse. All the flavors meld together seamlessly on the rich, buttery finish. This is a beautiful, complete Enchanteleurs to drink now and over the next handful of years. The 1998 is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Champagne Mailly, Verzy, Verzenay, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Chouilly, all Grand Cru villages. This is Lot # L1112320111. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. This is a strong set of wines from Henriot. Quality seems to have improved quite a bit over the last few years. Importer: Henriot Inc., New York, NY; tel.

The 1996 Brut Cuvee des Enchanteleurs is one of the softer, more forward 1996s readers are likely to come across. Smoke, cantaloupe, pear, flowers, mint, sweet baking spices and apricots are some of the notes that emerge from this layered, sublime Champagne. The finish is long and polished. The 1996 Enchanteleurs is drinking beautifully today, but also appears to have the stuffing to age gracefully for at least another decade. Disgorged: June, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. This is an impressive set of new releases from Henriot, an historic estate that seems to be experiencing a resurgence in quality. All of this house’s Champagnes see full malolactic fermentation, yet retain an element of cut and verve that gives the best wines impeccable balance. Importer: Henriot Inc., New York, NY; tel.

The house’s 1995 Brut Cuvee des Enchanteleurs reveals white truffles, spices, flowers, honey and dried pears in a medium-bodied style. The wine offers compelling inner perfume in its fruit and excellent overall harmony. The Cuvee des Enchanteleurs is 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012. Henriot is a medium-sized, family-run estate located in Reims. Based on the wines I tasted it looks like quality is on the rise. Importer: Henriot Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 605-6706
