Champagne Thiénot - Champagne - Cuvée Garance Magnum - Blanc - 2008

Wine:

Made from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus only, the 2008 Cuvée Garance has spent nearly 10 years in the cellar to evolve slowly. Not dosed, very little sulfited, it summons all the parameters of elegance. A nose of great finesse, a delicate bubble, elegant notes of red fruits and mirabelle plum, a refined power, an ample and generous palate... The pinot noir shines here with a new vibration! A great champagne to be served around 10° with a Bresse poultry or a mushroom fricassee.
