60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir. A family business established in 1985, Thiénot now own 30 ha across the region. 12 years on the lees. Disgorged December 2021. Dosage 6 g/l. A flash of green in the glass. Sous-bois character, yet retains the power and structure of 2008, with great freshness. Love the balance between complexity, richness and drive. Still youthful. (AWH)

Light nose with masses of acidity and some greenness. Pretty demanding to taste at the moment but it should get there. (JR)
