About this deal

Based strongly on Pinot Noir, which excelled that year, with 65% of the grapes having grand cru or premier cru origins. Medium-deep lemon colour. The nose is generously creamy and expressive, with plentiful ripe, fruity notes: baked apple, pineapple and pear jam, but also some earthy vegetal tones. True to the vintage, the palate is generous and round, full of luscious fruit. The mousse is soft and cushiony, adding to the feeling of sumptuousness. Long, concentrated finish. Ready to impress with mid-term potential. Drink: 2022-2030. 90 Points, August 2022 Food Pairing

With almost 20 years of experience as a wine broker in Champagne, he had acquired a deep knowledge of the vineyards by combing the slopes in constant search of wines (which revealed the best expressions of each cru vineyard). Originally invited by the great champagne houses to seek only the rare and exceptional from breeders, and from this experience, Alain sowed the seeds of a dream in Thiénot to create his own champagne house.

It takes real nerve to set up your own Champagne House, when the very first Houses began their existence more than three centuries ago. Alain Thiénot demonstrated real nerve, as well as inspiration and aspiration in doing exactly that.

A precise adventure and a challenge that has paid off: Thiénot Champagne has found its place among the largest champagne houses, where quality comes before quantity, creativity before tradition. In this wine podcast episode of Drinks Adventures, Peter Gago discusses the Thiénot champagne collaboration, which continues the huge international strides made by Penfolds in recent years. With almost 20 years experience as a wine broker in Champagne, he had acquired an in-depth knowledge of the vineyards, having scoured the hillsides in the constant quest for wines (that revealed) the finest expressions of each Cru vineyard. He had originally been invited by the major Champagne Houses to seek out only the rare and exceptional from growers, and it was from this experience that Alain Thiénot sowed the seeds of a dream, to establish his own Champagne House.Like the previous Thiénot Penfolds releases, this cuvée reflects the values shared by our two houses in the ‘spirit’ of champagne.” Vintage 2008: The mild and humid winter combined with an unstable spring with cool temperatures, abundant rain and a few strong frosts in April, leads to a late burst. However, the mildness of May allows the vines to catch up. Summer takes place under a mixed weather. The harvest begins between 15th and 25th September depending on areas. The weather is ideal, dry and sunny during the day, fresh at night, allowing an accumulation of sugars in the berries. The quality of grapes is exceptional and the balance between sugar and acidity of the grape must is perfect. First up in this episode, I asked Peter about his personal affinity with champagne, a wine style he’s clearly very passionate about. The Penfolds x Thiénot Champagne NV Brut Rosé The company launched its debut California Collection earlier in 2021, and there’s a set of Bordeaux wines to come in 2022. A forward thinking and contemporary Champagne House, its inherently family spirit and distinctive style award it a personality of its own. A Champagne favoured by trendsetters, these premium quality Champagnes are found in only selected establishments throughout the world. The classic Thiénot Champagne collection comprises three cuvées: Thiénot Brut, Thiénot Rosé and Thiénot Vintage, which are all cellar-aged for four to eight years to attain their finest expression.
