Champagne Brut Thiénot 75 cl

Description

History

After a brilliant career in the financial world, in 1985 Alain Thiénot founded his own champagne house in Taissy, not far from the city of Reims. Today it is the sons Stanislas and Garance who manage the maison following all the teachings received from their father. In a few decades they have been able to establish themselves on a par with many other historically more established and long-lived maisons, reaching truly noteworthy levels of quality in their champagnes.

Grapes used

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 wine rests on its lees for 60 months before being placed on the market.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Brilliant straw yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. The skilful union of several grape varieties gives the nose complex sensations; in fact we find aromas of white flowers and fresh fruit with yellow pulp, butter, yeasts, bread crust and hazelnut. On the other hand powerful on the palate, young but more complex on the finish, closed by a discreet acidity and an enveloping finish. Category.

Possible combinations

Thiénot is ideal as an accompaniment to fish dishes of various kinds or as a meditation wine. Highly recommended to try a very high quality product.
