Producer

The vineyards of the Thiénot estate extend across the finest terroirs of the Champagne. The year 1999 in Champagne was marked by generous weather, resulting in wines with plenty of body and maturity. While some 1999 wines may have lost some acidity over time, la Cuvée Alain Thiénot was built to last thanks to a rigorous selection of Grand Cru terroirs. This is a vintage that favours structure and vinosity over pure tension.

Unlike "La Vigne aux Gamins" (100% Chardonnay), la Cuvée Alain Thiénot is a classic Champagne blend, aiming for complexity through the marriage of grape varieties:

Predominantly Chardonnay (approximately 60%): Sourced mainly from Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger for finesse and backbone.

Pinot Noir (approximately 40%): Sourced from Aÿ and Verzenay for power, structure and depth.
