Cuvée Stanislas - White of White Millésimé - Champagne Thiénot
This cuvée, created by Alain Thiénot for his son Stanislas, is a magnificent blend made exclusively from Chardonnay on the Côte des Blancs. Millésimée, it expresses, with elegance and subtlety, all the complexity and amplitude of the Chardonnays. Between snowy episodes in winter, wind and freshness in spring, rain and heat in summer, the 2005 vintage offers a generous and characterful harvest. In spite of a capricious weather in early September, picking, which takes place from 9 to 22 September in cool, dry and sunny weather, encourages the accumulation of sugars in the berries. The tasting of light wines in the spring of 2006 confirms an exceptional 2005 with Chardonnays of remarkable length, naturally sweetened and aromatic and fresh Pinot noirs and structured.
