The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Family-owned and independent, the Maison Thiénot has firmly established itself on the most beautiful plots of Champagne. A firm believer in fine and elegant wines, it delivers on the terroir of the Montagne de Reims a clear and renewed interpretation of pinot noir.
Wine Made from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus only, the 2008 Cuvée Garance has spent nearly 10 years in the cellar to evolve slowly. Not dosed, very little sulfited, it summons all the parameters of elegance. A nose of great finesse, a delicate bubble, elegant notes of red fruits and mirabelle plum, a refined power, an ample and generous palate... The pinot noir shines here with a new vibration! A great champagne to be served around 10° with a Bresse poultry or a mushroom fricassee.
Vinification Hand harvested mainly from Pinot Noir, Premiers and Grands Crus, aged in cellars for 8 years.
Champagne Blanc de Noirs.
