Champagne Thierry Triolet Brut
The Champagne house of Thierry Triolet is located in the village of Bethon. Traditionally, the Sezanne vineyards have been a source of excellent Chardonnay grapes for the large negociant Champagne houses to the north.The Triolets are one of a growing number of families who have begun estate bottling their champagne over the last three decades. They own 11 hectares in and around the village of Bethon and almost all their vineyards are planted to Chardonnay. Their Brut Champagne is a blend of Chardonnay 65% and Pinot Noir 35%. By including three different vintages, the “assemblage” benefits from mature wines. The Champagne ages for a minimum of two years “sur lie” before disgorgement and the finished wine floral and richly textured with notes of ripe apple, pear, lemon curd, and chalky mineral.
