Disgorging.

After 5 years of aging champagne on natural rainfall, which gives the drink a roundness and complexity (due to autolysis of yeast), wine undergoes disgorging. During the disgorging in Cuvee Blanc Souverain added a very small amount of sugar (so-called dosage) - about 10 grams. Next champagne again left undisturbed for about 10 months to complete the redox processes. Then champagne ready for use and can be stored perfectly within 6-10 years.

History of the House of Dynasty Henriot goes back centuries. First mention of vineyards of Reims found back in 1550! Founder of the House is considered to be Appolina Enrio, (Appoline Henriot) Personality, a woman of exceptional character, intelligence, and business skills. In 1808 Appolina decided to champagne production on an industrial scale. And success was accompanied by her. Its clients became the royal court of the Netherlands, the imperial house of Austria-Hungary and many other aristocratic families of Europe. Champagne produced and sold under the brand name "Widow Senior Enrio."

By 1880, when her great-grandson of Field Enrio Henriot vineyards occupy the territory of the best Grand Cru Côte de Blancs Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Phylloxera epidemic of the late XIX - early XX centuries and the First World War caused irreparable damage to the region, the vineyards of Champagne were on the verge of ruin. Great efforts to restore the House Enrio and only wine region undertook Etienne Enrio (Etienne Henriot). In 1920-30 years he began to restore the vineyards, to increase their size by buying the best land. Despite the hard times and the economic crisis Etienne Enrio could open a new market for the House of export. After his death in 1957, passed the reins to his son - Joseph Enrio (Joseph Henriot). As a professional engineer experienced agronomist and winemaker, like his father, Joseph Enrio served as president of the famous Champagne house Charles Heidsieck, and then Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin. Nowadays the company is headed by Stanislas Henriot (Stanislas Henriot), representative of the seventh generation of the family of winemakers.
