Alain Thienot

A quarter of a century ago, entrepreneur and wine enthusiast Alain Thiénot decided to found his own Champagne house. Under the name "Champagne Thiénot," he began a small but exquisite production in this renowned sparkling wine region. His courage and entrepreneurial vision paid off, as today his fine Champagnes are among the best in the region – a true success! Supported by his daughter Garance and his son Stanislas, Alain Thiénot has developed the Thiénot Champagne house into a modern, innovative, and respected brand. Of particular note is the entry-level quality of their "Brut," which, thanks to intensive bottle aging (48 months), offers a wonderfully complex structure. The perfect balance of power and finesse, along with the creamy bubbles and ripe fruit aromas, embodies the unmistakable style of Champagne Thiénot.

Champagne Thiénot —
A family-run house with depth from the Champagne region

Alain Thiénot founded his Champagne house around 25 years ago—not as the heir to a centuries-old dynasty, but out of genuine conviction: The entrepreneur and wine lover wanted to make Champagne that would meet his own high standards. What began as a small operation is today a respected house in Champagne , run by Alain's children, Garance and Stanislas.

The centerpiece of the range is the Brut sans année, which, with 48 months of bottle aging, significantly exceeds the legal minimum. This time on the lees gives the wine its characteristic depth: creamy bubbles, aromas of ripe pear and brioche, and a long, fresh finish. Not a flashy style—rather, a precise elegance that only fully unfolds in the glass.

Thiénot represents a modern understanding of Champagne: meticulously handcrafted, without nostalgic self-indulgence. The wines pair equally well with scallops in butter sauce as they do as an aperitif—or simply as the perfect accompaniment to a relaxing evening.
