This "Grower Champagne" have been in Ambonnay since 1610, and is majority Pinot Noir with Chardonnay to round out. The nose shows marzipan, almond skin, apricot blossom, cream, and some yellow apple and plum. The palate is moderate in weight with golden apple, marzipan, clay minerality, and just there cream.
From the very heart of Champagne with a 400 year lineage to boot: Paul Dethune. The Dethune family got its start in the village of Ambonnay in 1610, the same year Galileo Galilei discovered the first three moons of Jupiter and Louis XIII took the throne of France. This makes them one of the founding families of Ambonnay and older than all but the Gosset Champagne house. Fast forward to today and Pierre Dethune and his wife Sophie work at the vanguard of Champagne, both environmentally and socially. They installed solar and rain capture in 1999, and own 17.3 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay all within the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay which they farm biodynamically. They have undergone the High Environmental Value certification, quite a feat for a small grower. Michael Kennel, D&M Winebuyer
