Hailing from the prestigious vineyards of Ambonnay, the Champagne Paul Déthune Blanc de Noirs Brut Grand Cru NV is a testament to the art of winemaking. This 95-point stunner, constructed entirely from Pinot Noir, is a shining example of the power and finesse that can be achieved in this varietal. The first sip reveals a basket of ripe red fruit flavors, underpinned by a thread of toasty brioche and a hint of marzipan. Its palate is as luscious as it is complex, with a fine mousse that carries these flavors through to a lingering, elegant finish. A perfect toast for a special occasion, it would also pair beautifully with a dinner of seared scallops or roasted quail. For a Grand Cru Champagne of this caliber, it’s a truly great value find.
