Thienot

Now proudly presiding over the Champagne House established by their father in 1985, for Garance and Stanislas Thiénot, their every move is guided by the single-minded pursuit of cultivating the intrinsic spirit of the land.

For almost 20 years as a broker in Champagne, Alan Thiénot combed the region’s rolling hills in search of only the finest grapes for prominent, centuries-old Champagne Houses, and year after year honed his knowledge of the Champagne region. His father had previously managed Champagne Irroy, while his grandfather, a glassmaker, crafted high-quality bottles.

While scouring the hillsides in search of only the very best, Alain Thiénot amassed significant vineyard holdings – 30 hectares in total – including grand cru sites in the historic valley of Ay and the Côte des Blancs, premier cru plots in Dizy and Cumières and on the slopes to the south of Epernay.

This precious resource provides the House with more than half the grapes it needs, proving to be an important guarantee of autonomy and longevity for this independent, family Champagne House.
