Gault&Millau's review 2027

The nose opens with a delicate floral bouquet of rose and lily of the valley, enhanced by notes of cocoa and toast. The creamy, milky palate reveals aromas of pineapple, pear and green apple, punctuated by a touch of ginger. Elegant bubbles carry a strong acidity that perfectly balances a smooth dosage. The finish is gourmand with accents of garrigue, adding a Mediterranean touch that makes it the sublime companion to a tajine.

Paul Déthune

Located in the Ambonnay Grand Cru, in the Montagne de Reims, the Paul Déthune estate—now run by Pierre and Sophie Déthune—produces distinctive champagnes on 7 hectares, aging them in traditional Champagne barrels and large oak casks. Aging takes place in beautiful chalk cellars. The house prides itself on using organic soil amendments, as well as a zero-pesticide and zero-insecticide policy, and the estate has been certified organic since 2023. The next generation is taking over with the arrival of their daughter, Emma. Private tours are available by appointment.
