Champagne Thienot Cuvee La Vigne aux Gamins Blanc de Blancs 2011

This exceptional single-vineyard vintage Champagne from 2011 reveals aromas of citrus zest, green apple, white peach, brioche, toasted hazelnut, and chalky minerality. Elegant and complex, the palate delivers a fine persistent mousse, vibrant acidity, remarkable depth, and a long, refined finish with outstanding precision.

Food Pairing: Lobster, oysters, caviar, grilled scallops, turbot, roast chicken, and aged Comté cheese.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

From a single vineyard on the Côte des Blancs, this Champagne is beautifully mature. It has a toast and croissant character, while still having a fresh edge of citrus.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2011 Brut Blanc de Blancs La Vigne aux Gamins, with only 3,500 bottles produced, reveals a charming, fresh bouquet with aromas of pastry, orchard fruits, honey, sweet spices and lemon oil. Medium to full-bodied, structured and rich, it’s enveloping with the open-knit profile of the vintage, tempering the concentrated, even somewhat tannic, house style at this address.
