Thienot Brut NV Champagne 750

The Thiénot NV is a blend of 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. Of this, 20% is reserve (ie. older wines). The wine has a minimum of 3 years ageing before release. The dosage (measure of sugar) of around 10g/L makes it Brut (dry), the most common style. The Thienot Brut Non-Vintage has exactly what you're looking for in an apéritif style champagne. With a fine bead (line of bubbles from the base of the glass) I found this Thienot Brut Non-Vintage cleansing and zesty, offering notes of citrus and lemon blossom. I love the creaminess of the mousse (foaminess in the mouth) and the slight toasty, brioche notes on the finish. The Thienot Brut Non-Vintage was at the pre-show reception of the Oscars a few years ago and this champagne will be just as sure to get your night started!
