Description
The Alain Thiénot cuvée expresses the expertise and exacting standards of the house. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is produced only when the vintage is excellent.
This champagne is a blend of Chardonnay (65%), mainly from Avize, Chouilly, Oger and Bassuet, and Pinot Noir (35%), mainly from Rilly, Tauxières and Villedommange.
2008 is one of the finest vintages Champagne has seen in the last 20 years. The climate was contrastingly sunny and cool, giving the wines an exceptional natural balance. These are great champagnes for laying down, and can be kept for special occasions.
The harvest took place under sunny skies with relatively cool temperatures, enabling us to harvest ripe, very healthy grapes. This 2008 vintage is characterized by freshness, tension, purity, salinity, finesse and aromatic precision.
Aged for 7 years in the cellars of Maison Thiénot, this champagne has developed toasty, toasted and praline notes intermingling with aromas of dried flowers and ripe yellow fruit. On the palate, all the beauty of Cuvée Alain Thiénot 2008 is expressed, offering a round, long and voluminous wine.
Cuvée Alain Thiénot 2008 will be perfect as an aperitif with cured ham, and will go perfectly with white fish or shellfish.
