José Maria da Fonseca Distribuição will handle the representation and distribution of Henriot Champagnes nationwide, produced by Maisons & Domaines Henriot for eight generations.
This new venture reinforces the goal of strengthening the portfolio and expanding the distributor's product offering, which already includes the sale of wines from producers José Maria da Fonseca, Ravasqueira, Lima & Smith and, more recently, the Selza hard seltzer.
“ This expansion of our portfolio in the champagne category, with an international producer, stems from an objective to broaden our offering to our clients, with high-quality products and a philosophy aligned with José Maria da Fonseca. Henriot Champagnes are unique in style, not only because of their family history, but also because of their terroirs characterized by the limestone soils of the Côte des Blancs. We believe they expand and complement the value of our offering and create an increasingly solid relationship with our partners and clients ,” says António Maria Soares Franco, director of marketing and sales at José Maria da Fonseca.
Henriot Champagne
Founded in 1808, Maisons & Domaines Henriot specializes in the production of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, particularly in the Côte des Blancs and the northern side of the Montagne de Reims, known for its delicacy and aging potential.
The Henriot Champagne estate boasts 35 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are reflected in the freshness and minerality of its champagnes, making this house a benchmark in the culture of Grand Blancs de Champagne.
