Decanter om: Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs La Vigne aux Gamins

Racy and thrilling, this hits the spot in terms of direct and punchy yellow fruit flavours - lemon, grapefruit, orange and quince with a crisp texture and fine bubbles that fill the mouth. Such tension and precision. It has a sharp yet also mouthwatering acidity giving you a push pull of intensity and generosity. It's super dry and gives a raciness to the overall impression with very tiny hints of sweetness providing the round feel that's so appealing. Shines brightly and still feels so youthful, such a long ageing potential yet. I like the energy and the persistence here, it's clean and finessed. Not trying too hard but so easy to drink. 100% Chardonnay of white 90% comes from grands crus vineyards. Dosage 4g/L. Disgorged February 2022. 97/100

Jane Anson om: Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs La Vigne aux Gamins

Peach, white pear, citrus, slate, the focus is very much on young fresh fruits open the opening beats, then richer honeysuckle, candied lemons, gingerbread, brioche and biscuit comes in with a good 30 minutes of opening. Lovely energy, excellent quality. Disgorged March 2022 after 11 years ageing on the lees. 4g/l dosage, 3300 bottles + 500 magnums of this extremely rare Champagne, one that celebrates vintage variation. 96/100

Min vinmager

Alain Thienot

Champagnehuset Thienot, som er meget kendt i Frankrig, har været en familievirksomhed i mange år, omend en stor en af slagsen. Patriarken Alain Thienot købte de fleste af sine vinmarker (næsten 30 hektar) i begyndelsen af 1980'erne, hvor den store krise rasede. Selv fire hektar fra Krug!
