2001 Alain Thienot, Vigne aux Gamins Blanc de Blancs Brut

The Chardonnay for the 2001 Alain Thiénot, Vigne aux Gamins Blanc de Blancs is sourced exclusively from a Grand Cru vineyard in Avize.  These 60-year-old vines, planted on chalky soils, yield grapes with exceptional purity and minerality. Meticulously crafted, the wine undergoes extended aging on lees and is finished with a low dosage, resulting in a sophisticated Extra Brut style.
