Brut

The Brut is the Thiénot classic and shows the house style: finesse, freshness and fruit. It is an assemblage of all three champagne grape varieties and matures for four years in the cellar. In the glass it sparkles yellow with golden highlights, and the mousse is creamy. The nose is powerful 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 reliable choice. It also goes very well with oysters, seafood and fish tartare, since 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.
