THE PRODUCER
Champagne house Thienot was established in Reims, in 1985, by Alain Thienot.
Today the house is run by Alain’s sons, Stanislas and daughter Garance. The
majority of fruit is sourced from grand cru vineyards and handled meticulously
to produce the linear and lively style – with depth and complexity – for which
the house is famous. Today Thienot also owns other champagne houses Canard
Duchene and Joseph Perrier.

THE WINE
The Thiénot NV Brut Champagne combines crisp and fruity flavours, creating a
finely balanced wine. With a focus on zingy acidity and lemon crispness, it
contrasts with the riper notes of apple and pear. Leaning towards the drier side
of Brut and highlighted by a lively mousse, this wine is ideal for an apéritif​.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
