Description
Cuvée Garance is Alain Thiénot's tribute to his daughter. "It's an elegant, complex and powerful wine, in the tradition of the House's great champagnes. Garance Thiénot.
The 2012 vintage was rich and intense, with powerful aromas. It produced grapes combining great aromatic maturity and beautiful tension.
This cuvée is a Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Noir (90%) and Meunier (10%) grapes mainly from the Montagne de Reims region. After bottling, the bottles are aged for 9 years in the Maison's cellars on rue des Moissons in Reims.
To the eye, the wine has a lovely, intense golden hue.
The nose is expressive and complex, with notes of ripe yellow fruit, mirabelle plum and dried fruit.
The palate offers good structure and a taut finish.
Maison Thiénot's Cuvée Garance 2012 is a perfect match for spring lamb, 24-month-aged Comté cheese or cherry pie.
