Paul Dethune Brut Grand Cru Champagne

Producer: Paul Dethune
Region: Champagne, France
Varietal: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay 
Year: Non-Vintage 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The Brut cuvee has a bright, satiny and fairly fuid look, yellow gold in colour with light straw yellow refections and a beautiful shine. The frst scent is seductive with a hint of pastries, evoking notes of butter, acacia honey, toasted almonds, brioche, quince paste, with honeysuckle and buttercup favours. Aeration of the Champagne adds to its pleasure, with notes of toast, liquorice, blackcurrant, cherry, jasmine, candied pear, raisin, pomegranate and sweet spices. 

The initial efect on the palate is supple and fresh, with a creamy efervescence. The Brut cuvee develops with a pulpy fruity body, supported by a lemony acidity and pink grapefruit. The mid-palate efect is orchestrated by a chalky clay minerality which confers openness, fruity volume, iodized salinity and a long-lasting taste, with a broad scope for tactility. The wine has a juiciness and dry aspect on the palate, with both delicacy and confdence where a rich and dashing fruitiness plays a part along with a deep fruitiness with developing aromas ; these are the prerogatives of reserve wines. The fnely-blended overall taste brings a gourmet experience, delivering a certain vinosity in line with the slender freshness and returning aromas of fruitiness and pastries."
