Winemakers Notes
La Vigne aux Gamins is
produced exclusively from a parcel of vines from Avize, which was planted more than 60 years ago
and enjoys an outstanding situation in every way. The
pure chalk subsoil
gives the wine its finesse and the propensity to suffer from millerandage, but with its small, well aerated bunches, it can reach excellent levels of maturity.
La Vigne aux Gamins,
vintage and single varietal Champagne
, retains the specific character of the terroir, the year and the natural flavours of Chardonnay. It is
the supreme expression of Champagne Thiénot’s winemaking expertise.
100% Chardonnay
Cellars ageing: 11 years in the cellars at Rue des Moissons in Reims.
Dosage: + 6g/L
Disgorgement: avril 2021
About 3500 bts produced depending of the vintage
THE VINTAGE
After a rather cold and dry winter, the spring is calm. Precipitation, temperatures and sunshine are normal, no frost damage. Despite a few localized hailstorms (which do not affect Avize and La Vigne Aux Gamins), the summer is hot, dry and sunny. Beautiful maturity and perfect sanitary condition.
TASTING NOTE
An expressive nose of dried fruits (almonds, fresh hazelnuts) mixed with delicate notes of almost candied pear. Long and balanced on the palate, fresh and creamy, enhanced with citrus notes with a pleasant hint of bitterness.
