With almost 20 years of experience as a wine broker in Champagne, he had acquired a deep knowledge of the vineyards by combing the slopes in constant search of wines (which revealed the best expressions of each cru vineyard). Originally invited by the great champagne houses to seek only the rare and exceptional from breeders, and from this experience, Alain sowed the seeds of a dream in Thiénot to create his own champagne house. Thiénot managing director, Stanislas Thiénot added: “We are delighted to add this new cuvée to our Thiénot Penfolds project. Indeed, this partnership would not be complete without a non-vintage cuvée, an expression which highlights the art of blending champagne.”

This is a special episode of the Drinks Adventures podcast, produced with the support of Penfolds Wines.

Like the previous Thiénot Penfolds releases, this cuvée reflects the values shared by our two houses in the ‘spirit’ of champagne.” With almost 20 years experience as a wine broker in Champagne, he had acquired an in-depth knowledge of the vineyards, having scoured the hillsides in the constant quest for wines (that revealed) the finest expressions of each Cru vineyard. He had originally been invited by the major Champagne Houses to seek out only the rare and exceptional from growers, and it was from this experience that Alain Thiénot sowed the seeds of a dream, to establish his own Champagne House. It shouts ‘champagne’ and showcases the finesse and understatement of Thiénot.
