Champagne Thiénot — Modern Family Maison from Reims
Champagne Thiénot is a family-run Maison from Reims, founded in 1985 by Alain Thiénot. Today the house is led by Stanislas Thiénot. The Maison produces as an NM (Négociant-Manipulant) and combines classic champagne craftsmanship with a modern, clear style profile.
History
Alain Thiénot founded the Maison in 1985 in Reims, the heart of Champagne. Nearly 40 years later, in 2024, the family opened Le N°3 at 3 rue du Marc in Reims — a modern experience center that combines cellar tours with a 5-star hotel, spa, rooftop bar, and event spaces. The Maison deliberately positions itself at the intersection of tradition and contemporary wine culture.
The headquarters is located at 14 rue des Moissons in Reims, centrally positioned in the Montagne de Reims.
Vinification
Champagne Thiénot works with a mix of traditional savoir-faire and modern techniques. The Maison's philosophy reads: "Crafting Champagne with family passion and a modern touch since 1985." A trademark is their clear, fresh style — the Brut Cuvée, for example, is aged with only 4 g/l Dosage and moves into Extra-Brut territory.
The Cuvées in Detail
Brut (2017)
The Maison's base Cuvée, characterized by precision and freshness. Base vintage 2017, plus 45% reserve wines. Aromas of citrus, apple, and fine brioche, clearly structured, taut on the finish. The low dosage point of 4 g/l allows the fruit and mineral chalk signature to clearly emerge.
45% Pinot Noir · 40% Chardonnay · 15% Meunier · 4 g/l Dosage · Base 2017 · Reims, partly Aube/Côte des Bar
Blanc de Blancs
Pure Chardonnay, described as fruity, balanced, and refined. The Cuvée shows the classic Blanc de Blancs character of the Maison — clear, lively, without excessive oak notes.
100% Chardonnay
Immersion 2015
Vintage champagne and Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from 2015. The Cuvée comes 100% from Grand Cru sites and represents the pinnacle of the Thiénot product range.
100% Chardonnay · Vintage 2015 · 100% Grand Cru
