Collection Famille
Sensitive, refined portrayals of a unique family, the ‘Stanislas’, ‘Garance’ and ‘Alain’Vintage Champagnes originate essentially from the House premier and grand cru vineyards.
When time allies with great white wines to harmoniously combine maturity, freshness and generosity.
Cuvée Garance is proof indeed that the great Pinot vineyards can escape the stereotype and skilfully combine power and elegance. Such is the philosophy of this unique blend full of character and charm.
We take the absolute best from our most promising harvests, and then allow time to shape the wine towards the essence of the Thiénot style, where maturity, complexity, power and elegance blend to perfection.
A sensory experience that resembles an intimate journey through the heart of the House cellars to discover how time has shaped the most remarkable of the great Alain Thiénot cuvées.
