Description

La Vigne aux Gamins 2010 is a rare plot-based cuvée from Maison Thiénot, which sublimates the expression of Chardonnay on one of the finest terroirs in the Côte des Blancs.

How La Vigne aux Gamins 2010 is made

Made exclusively from Chardonnay Grand Cru grapes, Cuvée La Vigne aux Gamins 2010 is a precision Champagne. The grapes are vinified with extreme care to preserve the purity of the fruit and the identity of the terroir. No barrels are used to enhance the natural expression of grape variety and soil.

Malolactic fermentation is deliberately blocked to preserve the tension and freshness characteristic of this exceptional terroir. The cuvée is aged for over 10 years in the cellar before being disgorged, allowing the aromas to develop a patina over time. The dosage is 6 g/L to sublimate without masking the expression of the vintage.

The 2010 Champagne vintage was marked by contrasting weather conditions. After a favorable start to the year, rainy spells during the summer affected some plots, but the great terroirs, particularly those of the Côte des Blancs, fared well. Thanks to a rigorous selection process, the grapes destined for La Vigne aux Gamins have reached a fine level of maturity, combining richness and freshness, perfect for long ageing.
