Gault&Millau's review 2027

The nose is bewitching, floral and vanilla, reminiscent of a passion fruit millefeuille. The palate is textured and almost tannic, with aromas of coffee and vanilla. The finish subtly takes us back to a walk in the woods, combining roundness and tension. An invigorating freshness structures the whole. Forget two years in the cellar for perfect balance.

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.
