Brut

The Brut is Thiénot's classic and shows the house style: finesse, freshness and fruit. It is a blend of all three champagne grape varieties and ages for four years in the cellar. In the glass it sparkles yellow with golden reflections, and the mousse is creamy. The nose is vigorous and fresh, with stewed fruit such as apple and quince. On the palate it is fine and flavourful, balanced and with a long finish.

As an aperitif it is a dependable choice. It also accompanies oysters, seafood and fish tartare very well, as its freshness keeps salty and raw flavours in balance. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C. A white wine glass or a tulip brings out the fruit notes better than a narrow flute.
