Thienot 2001 La Vigne aux Gamins Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
From a small parcel of old vines in Avize in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, here is a wine that really expresses the intensity of its chalk terroir. It has all the texture and tautness along with a steely structure and pure, very fresh lime flavors.

Thienot 2000 La Vigne aux Gamins Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Gamins in French are the kids, and this wine has been produced by Alain Thienot’s children, Stainlas and Garance, from a small parcel of vines. The kids did well, because this is an impressively structured wine, full of the crispest Chardonnay, worth aging for 5–6 years.

Thienot 2004 Cuvée Stanislas Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
Definitely dry, a wine that has great layers of acidity, citrus and the freshest pineapple. There is a forward fruit character, balanced with an apple-skin texture that produces a vibrant edge. Great Chardonnay from a great vintage.

Thienot 2002 Cuvée Garance Blanc de Rouges Sparkling (Champagne)
- $150
This is 100% Pinot Noir, which gives richness to the wine. It is generous, with red apple and pear flavors, still very fresh. An attractive final bite says that it will age.

Thienot 1999 Grande Cuvée Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $150
A wine that is showing a toasty, mature view of the 1999 vintage. There are flavors of soft almonds, a smooth texture and a final, soft richness. While this is unlikely to develop much further, it is an impressive, ripe, food-friendly wine.

Thienot 2004 Brut Millesimé Sparkling (Champagne)
A well-balanced Champagne, its apple and citrus texture going well with the bottle-age toast. The wine has richness and bitter almond flavors with a crisp, dry aftertaste. It shows all the fine structure of the vintage.

Thienot 2002 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
A yeasty, toasty wine, with the white fruits playing second fiddle to the mature notes. The wine is rich, soft and rounded, hinting at potential development, but surprisingly ready to drink now.

Thienot NV Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $49
A finely structured, balanced Champagne, its citric and green plum fruit flavors fitting well within some full acidity. Everything is fresh but integrated, with an elegant, rich and refreshing finish.
