Wine Spectator

Bruce Sanderson

Toast and pencil shavings introduce this crisp, precise Champagne. Apple, honey and mineral flavors have an underlying bread dough element, with fine length. Drink now through 2014.

Wine Enthusiast

R.V.

An attractive Champagne, with its creamy character brought out by a light dosage. The wine has balancing green apple acidity. It's light in the mouth, with a final taut texture.

Decanter

Large welcoming bubbles; the nose sings coconut and ripe semi-tropical fruit, the palate is more finely etched.

James Suckling

Claire Nesbitt

Plenty of bright, ripe-fruit aromas here – rich peaches, pears and grilled almonds. The palate has a very composed feel and a deeper, savory attitude with light honey and grilled nuts. A lot of character for the first cuvée. 2013 base with 45 per cent reserve wine. Drink now.

Vinous

Josh Raynolds

(made from 45% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier; L1U3YA23A): Pale yellow. Lemon curd, quince, white flowers, honey and vanilla on the fragrant nose. Taut, refreshingly bitter citrus pith and toasty lees flavors give way to richer melon and peach with air, with honeysuckle and ginger notes adding complexity. A pungent, waxy note carries through the smoky expansive finish.

/100

Falstaff

Medium straw yellow, golden reflections, fine, lively mousse. Delicate hints of cookie, yellow tropical fruit, nuances of peach, some honey blossom, hints of meadow herbs in the background. Juicy, elegant, white fruit nuances, lively structure, apple fruit on the finish, delicate sweetness in the aftertaste, very drinkable, fruity style.

Jeb Dunnuck

The NV Thienot Champagne Brut tastes like a baby Krug with its rich, nutty, powerful style. Ample apple and citrus fruits as well as a touch of minerality develop with time in the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a awesome texture, and a great finish. This cuvée is 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and the balance Pinot Meunier, mostly from Grand Cru sites, and it was brought up all in stainless steel. The dosage is 9 grams per liter.

Description

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for Thiénot Brut

Tasting Notes

Colour
The wine reveals an elegant pale yellow hue with golden highlights, enhanced by lively effervescence and an exceptionally fine mousse.

Nose
The bouquet is complex and generous, releasing aromas of orchard fruits such as apple and peach, intertwined with notes of tropical fruit. Subtle floral touches and indulgent hints of biscuit and brioche complete this harmonious ensemble.

Palate
The attack is round and fresh, offering a creamy texture and a vibrant structure. The palate unfolds bright, fruity flavours that stretch into a long, clean and delicately smooth finish.

Food and Wine Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, this sparkling white wine pairs beautifully with seafood such as oysters, shellfish or fish tartare. It is also an excellent match for cold starters such as carpaccio, light white meats and soft-rind cheeses.

Serving and Cellaring

Thanks to its balanced structure, this non-vintage Brut has good ageing potential and will develop favourably in the cellar for several years.

The Elegance and Modernity of a Champagne Signed Thiénot

The Estate

Founded in 1985 by Alain Thiénot, a former grape broker, the house of Thiénot stands out for its modern vision and independence. Based in Reims and Taissy, France, this family-owned estate cultivates a vineyard of around 30 hectares. Today, it is run by the new generation, Garance, Stanislas and Théodora Thiénot, through the Arvitis group. Internationally renowned, notably at the Oscars ceremonies, the brand embodies the excellence of contemporary Champagne, combining creativity, quality and respect for terroir.

The Vineyard

The estate extends over nearly 30 hectares in the heart of Champagne, a large part of which is classified Grand Cru and Premier Cru, on prestigious terroirs such as Aÿ, Le Mesnil and Avize. The vines are cultivated with careful attention to sustainability and respect for nature. Supply is completed through long-standing, loyal partnerships with local growers.

The Blend

This cuvée is the result of a meticulous blend combining a main harvest base with a significant proportion of reserve wines, representing 35 to 45% of the total volume. These reserve wines, drawn from several consecutive vintages, ensure the consistency and complexity of the house style.

Vinification and Maturation

This Brut is produced exclusively in stainless steel tanks to preserve the full purity and freshness of the aromas. Complete malolactic fermentation is carried out to add roundness. The wine then benefits from extended ageing on the lees for four to five years in the cellars of Reims before disgorgement.

Grape Varieties

The blend consists of Pinot Noir (35 to 45%), Chardonnay (35 to 45%) and Pinot Meunier (20 to 30%).
