Paul Déthune Grand Cru Rosé Champagne NV

Bright, pale strawberry pink with pale orange-pink reflections  in the glass. Restrained and youthful on the nose, slightly funky, showing peonies, roses, raspberry liqueur, morello cherry, blood orange and wild strawberries with redcurrants and fresh dough. Fruity and supple on the palate, with fresh attack, creamy effervescence, radiant fruity substance, acidity of lemon, grapefruit, chalky clay minerality, openness, iodized salinity and calcareous resonance. Light body and quite phenolic grip. Crisp and balanced in the finish. 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. 

Paul Dethune Brut is a complex, traditional non-vintage rosé Champagne from Ambonnay, France, crafted from 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, including 30-50% reserve wine from a period of 40 different years aged and vinified in oak tuns, which guarantees a very consistent quality. The grapes are farmed organically and sustainably and harvested by hand.

Paul Déthune is one of Champagne's great family-owned grower estates, producing Grand Cru Champagnes that reflect more than four centuries of continuous viticulture in the village of Ambonnay. The Déthune family's roots in the village date to 1610, making them one of Ambonnay's oldest winegrowing families. While generations of the family cultivated vineyards for centuries, it was Paul Déthune who established the Champagne house that bears his name, laying the foundation for the modern estate (1930). The small organic winery consists of seven hectares of land, lovingly cultivated by Pierre Déthune. It produces nine Grand Cru wines, each undergoing malolactic fermentation and aging in the winery’s cellars, which which were cut out of the chalk in the 17th century.

Today, Pierre and Sophie Déthune lead the fifth generation, continuing a philosophy that combines deep respect for tradition with thoughtful innovation and an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Rather than pursuing large-scale production, they remain dedicated récoltant-manipulants (RM), growing their own fruit and overseeing every stage of production from vineyard to bottle. Every cuvée is produced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards, reflecting the exceptional quality of Ambonnay and the estate's singular focus on terroir.
