About
Paul Déthune Brut Grand Cru NV is a dry Champagne from the Grand Cru village Ambonnay in the Champagne region of France. It is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes — a classic expression of the estate’s terroir. The wine includes a proportion of reserve wines from up to 40 different years, vinified and aged in oak tuns, which lends it consistency and complexity.
Tasting notes

On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh brioche, acacia honey, toasted almonds, butter and hints of quince paste and honeysuckle. With a little aeration, more complexity unfolds — toasted notes, blackcurrant, cherry, jasmine, candied pear, pomegranate and soft sweet spices emerge. On the palate the wine shows a supple and fresh attack, with creamy effervescence, pulpy fruit character, pink grapefruit, bright lemony acidity, chalky-clay minerality and an iodized saline finish that reflects its chalk-rich terroir.

Pairing

This Champagne pairs beautifully with elegant seafood dishes — for example pan-seared scallops or a sole with morels — or with creamy, rich dishes such as foie-gras with parsnip purée or pumpkin velouté. Its freshness and minerality also make it a good match for dishes with mushrooms, game, or mild goat cheeses.

The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
