Champagne Blanc de Blancs Stanislas 2008 Thiénot 75 cl

Description

History

Alain Thiénot founded his own champagne house in 1985 and in a few years he achieved high levels of quality by acquiring numerous vineyards. Today the house is run by his sons Stanislas and Garance, who have established their reputation by creating balanced and clean cuvées.

Grapes used

100% Chardonnay

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). The product ages for at least 120 months on its lees, depending on the vintage.

Tasting notes

Light and bright gold color, with very fine perlage. Balanced and elegant on the nose: notes of elderflower and chamomile, brioche, pastry, melted butter and yeasts, chalk minerality. On the palate the wine is broad and full-bodied, with a very fine bubble that caresses the walls of the palate, with a balanced freshness on the finish.

Possible combinations

Alain Thiénot Cuvée Stanislas is the champagne of great drinkers and connoisseurs: the very high quality and attention to the modernity of taste make it an exclusive product. Highly recommended for meditation, or in combination with special dishes, especially smoked salmon, caviar, foie gras or white truffle dishes.
