Thienot La Vigne aux Gamins Blanc de Blancs 2008 (OWC 3)

Description

By James Suckling in 2022 (JS95)
Medium-bodied with aromas of dried lemon zest, white peach, toasted brioche, walnut and chamomile. It’s bright and tangy with very fine bubbles. Focused, fresh, complex and elegant – just what you want from a blanc de blancs. Structured and rich. Drink or hold.
