Thierry Thibault expanded our allocation of this excellent Champagne this year... Maybe we will have it in stock for a few days after the email this time! Thierry is the son of one of the giants of Champagne, the late great Daniel Thibault who was chef de cave for both Charles and Piper Heidsieck and pioneered the concept of transparency in non-vintage Champagne with his mis-en-cave bottlings. The estate spans two villages in heart of the western valley of the marne- Verneuil and Passy-Grigny. This Champagne is composed of 1/3 each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier and is aged for three years on the lees. This is a very bright, fresh style with vibrant acidity, but also with wonderful Chablis-like clean earth and complexity. It has a perfect, tight bead and a creamy texture, as well as a very dry and long finish. I was shocked at the price — this is the kind of value that will not last on our shelves!

Thierry Thibault is one of our smallest Direct Imports ("Direct Import" is code for "Unbeatable Price") and exemplifies the modern rise of the family run Champagne grower-producers. Thierry is the fourth generation of the Thibault family working the land and their pedigree is beyond reproach. Thierry's father Daniel was the chef-de-cave (head winemaker) for legendary Champagne houses Charles Heidsieck and Piper Heidsieck for over 20 years. Thierry inherited the vineyards 15 years ago and decide to produce his own champagne. He released his first bottling in 2009. When you grow your own grapes you have a more intimate relationship with the terroir and it shows in the bottle. The Thierry Thibault Brut Champagne NV is everything you want in a champagne and as you can read from the other reviews it's a staff favorite. A traditional blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, and aged sur-lie for three years like a vintage champagne, the fruit, acidity, and autolytic character are in a harmonious balance. For under $30, you get a true expression of what makes champagne the very best of sparkling wines.

Wow!! If you are a fan of Chardonnay, Meunier, Pinot Noir champagnes, look no further because this is one. Thierry's expression of classic flavors that truly imbibes a well rounded and affordable bottle that is driven by peach mousse, a touch of nectarine, yellow plum and a tad of passion fruit that mirrors the mouthfeel along with the nose. This is an attractive bottle of bubbles and a stunning overall crowd pleaser. Enjoy with some white fish sashimi or caviar.

A refreshing nose of lighter yellow fruits and green apple, offset by pastry dough scents. On the palate, clean and crisp, with solid citrus notes and spices. Stone fruits and sour apple fruit and French bread dough goodness on the palate . Finishes soft and rich, with creamy notes, clean minerals and plush yellow fruits. Super solid! Tasted this latest release with the staff a few days ago and everyone loved it!
Notes
This is a blend of equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier from estate-grown fruit in the Western Valley of the Marne. It is a dry style, with lots of great nutty toast from three years of sur-lee ageing and good length.
