For the second consecutive year, Champagne Thiénot will be the exclusive champagne featured during the pre-show of the 86th Oscars as well as at the prestigious Governors Ball, the Academy’s official post-Oscar ® celebration.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has again selected the little known house of Thienot Champagne because of its very high end quality and its extremely selective distribution. “We are thrilled that the Academy has chosen our family-owned House for the most prestigious event of the year. All the guests who enjoyed Thienot Champagne during the 85th show and ball last February had a tremendous experience, so the Academy decided to feature our Champagne again!” said François Peltereau-Villeneuve, President & CEO of Thiénot USA.

Thiénot Champagne comes from the city of Reims, located in the heart of the historic Champagne region. Most of the grapes come from its own vineyards, in the famous Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.

The Winery: This contemporary Champagne house, led by its founders, the Thiénot family, combines finesse, fruit and freshness in a blend of three grape varieties selected from the finest vineyards in Champagne. The wine develops a spring-like bouquet, where floral and fruit aromas intertwine. The lively, delicate wine evolves on the palate towards a long finish exuding a succession of orchard notes.

All our Beef is locally sourced from highly renowned & multi award winning R&J Butchers, at Kirkby Malzeard.

When you are as passionate as we are about what we do it is imperative to find suppliers that share your enthusiasm and the team at R&J certainly do.

R&J are at the top of their game through very high quality standards, traceability and a hunger for innovation; for example, their Signature Salt Aged Beef. It has taken the family
over 5 years to perfect this form of aging meat, beginning with the very genetics of their ‘clean’ beef cattle. This chamber is lined with pure Himalayan salt bricks which control the
humidity of the air in the temperature controlled environment. There are a few more factors involved but these are a closely kept secret! The results are remarkable, not only in
the incredible flavour of the beef, but also the sheer consistency of its quality.

It is possible through their strict measures of traceability to follow a cut of meat right back to the ear tag in the exact animal it came from, which is in itself impressive.
Where other catering butchers from Yorkshire have chosen to tap into the London market or supply supermarkets R&J just look after people like us. This allows their full concentration
on the quality of their product which they, and we, are rightly proud of. If you want to see more about R&J have a look on their website.
