Alain Thienot: Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs La Vigne aux Gamins Brut 2006

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

From an old vineyard in Avize, this is produced every year and there’s a lot of character in the 2006. Aromas of ripe, exotic tropical fruit, as well as lemons and a hint of toasted coconut. The palate has a lot of pastry-like flavors. Biscuity and powerful with rich, fleshy fruit on the finish. A lot of brioche here, building toasty warmth. Another two-to-three years will take it even more in this direction. Very vinous. Very unique! 94/100
