Paul Dethune Extra-Brut “l’Ancienne” 2016
Paul Déthune Extra‑Brut “l’Ancienne” 2016 is a dry sparkling wine (Champagne) from the Grand Cru village Ambonnay — in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne, France. It is crafted using the classic Champagne grape varieties: a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a modest dosage (Extra-Brut), allowing the character of the terroir to shine through.
On the nose, this Champagne reveals a refined bouquet of wild berries, subtle red fruit, and hints of chalky minerality — with touches of fresh citrus and a faint floral undercurrent. On the palate, it offers a clean and fresh attack, followed by elegant, creamy effervescence and a lively lemon-y acidity. The mid-palate unfolds with fleshy fruit, soft mineral texture and a crisp finish that balances richness with freshness.
This wine pairs beautifully with seafood — think scallops, oysters or grilled sea bass — where its freshness and minerality complement delicacy of the dishes. It also matches well with light poultry dishes or soft, mild cheeses, making it a versatile companion for elegant meals.
