PAUL DETHUNE BRUT CHAMPAGNE NV 3000ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Champagne Paul Déthune is a historic family-owned Récoltant-Manipulant (grower-producer) estate located in the prestigious Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France. The Déthune family’s connection to the land dates back to 1610, with the house officially founded by Paul Déthune in 1930. Today, it is run by Pierre and Sophie Déthune, who continue the tradition of crafting elegant, terroir-driven Champagnes. The estate’s 100% Grand Cru vineyards, renowned for their Pinot Noir, produce rich yet balanced cuvées (often blended with Chardonnay) that reflect Ambonnay’s powerful, red-fruited character. Committed to sustainability, the domaine practices high environmental value (HVE) viticulture, has achieved VDC certification, and completed organic conversion in 2020 (with full certification underway). Visitors can explore its historic 17th-century cellars and enjoy tastings that highlight the family’s passion for quality and nature.

TASTING NOTE:

Bright yellow-gold with satiny bubbles. Seductive nose of pastries, butter, acacia honey, toasted almonds, brioche, honeysuckle, and red fruits. The palate is supple and creamy with pulpy fruit, lemony acidity, chalky minerality, salinity, and a long, gourmet finish balancing freshness and vinosity.
