Blanc de Noirs Garance 2008

Alain Thiénot dedicated this cuvée to his daughter Garance. It is a blanc de noirs made from the best Pinots Noirs of the 2008 vintage. The attack on the palate is rich and fresh at the same time. After that comes a racy, supple wine with good length, combining power and finesse. As a blanc de noirs it stands for structure and body without ever seeming heavy. That puts it among the great champagnes of the house.

At the table it goes with Bresse poultry or a fricassée with wild mushrooms. The dishes can be quite robust. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass so that it can unfold. This bottle is offered as a magnum, which is a lovely format for a table with several guests.
