Description

History

The Déthune family has been producing wine since 1610, and today Pierre and Sophie Déthune run the company with great experience in Ambonnay, in the Montagne de Reims. They have been producing high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, respecting the environment with ecological certifications and organic cultivation since 2020. A distinctive feature is the use of oak barrels, even with reserve wines of over 40 vintages, which gives their champagnes a unique aromatic complexity. Paul Déthune is recognized as one of Champagne’s wine excellences.

Production method

The Pinot Noir vineyards are located in an area with particular characteristics, in fact they are thirty centimeters above the Craie. “Les Crayèrs” is produced according to the so-called Champenoise method or classic method, a method in which the wine essentially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it has in common with the rest of the wines) takes place in wooden barrels for fermentation , without the inoculation of selected yeasts.
