Henri Harlin NV Champagne

Meunier has a growing reputation among the Champagneophiles of the world. For some time, it was considered the least noble of the Champagne grapes, but people are beginning to admire what it brings to the final wine. We think it might be the name change, you see Meunier is the grape formally known as Pinot Meunier, it dropped the Pinot to become a mononym, like Cher or Prince or that symbol Prince changed his name to that looked suspiciously like the bat signal.

People now recognise that Meunier offers a richness and fullness of body, enough that some of the finest Champagne producers make Meunier dominant wines.
Henri Harlin is a lively and expressive blend of Meunier and Chardonnay with scents of citrus and freshly baked bread. The palate displays ripe green apples, toasty brioche and an abundance of fine and persistent bubbles. Step aside Pinot, Meunier is taking centre stage!

Henri Harlin is bottled by Champagne H. Blin exclusively for Oddbins.

The H Blin Champagne house was founded in 1947 when Henri Blin persuaded 28 of his grower friends around the village of Vincelles to join him in to build a co-operative winery and business. With little capital to invest, they paid for new equipment with bottle of their champagne. Today H Blin is co-owned by 100 family growers who have 110 hectares of vineyard between them. All vines are treated with minimal recourse to herbicides and pesticides.
