Champagne Paul Dethune Brut NV (1x150cl)
The Champagne Paul Dethune Brut NV Magnum represents a quintessential expression of Ambonnay, a revered Grand Cru village within the Montagne de Reims. Crafted by the Dethune family, who have cultivated their vineyards for generations, this cuvée embodies the power and elegance characteristic of its terroir.
Predominantly composed of Pinot Noir, complemented by a judicious proportion of Chardonnay, the wine undergoes traditional method fermentation and extended maturation on its lees. This meticulous ageing regime, particularly beneficial in the 150cl Magnum format, imparts remarkable complexity, depth, and a refined mousse, ensuring exceptional longevity and aromatic evolution.
Paul Dethune's commitment to sustainable viticulture and precise cellar work results in a Brut NV that consistently delivers a harmonious balance of fruit, autolytic richness, and a distinctive mineral backbone, reflecting its chalky soils.
Tasting notes
On the nose, this Brut NV reveals an intricate bouquet of toasted brioche, ripe red apple, and lemon zest, underpinned by subtle notes of white flowers and a distinct chalky minerality. The palate is vibrant and impeccably balanced, showcasing a fine, persistent mousse that carries flavours of orchard fruit, almond, and a delicate autolytic complexity. A long, refreshing finish, marked by a saline edge and a hint of red berry, underscores its Grand Cru provenance and exceptional structure.
