"80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, this is bright Salmon pink in colour with a liveley but fine mousse. A lovely broad nose with silky fruit on the palate. This is very elegant with a superb clean and fabulously long finish - unmissable!"
The Dethune family own 7ha of vineyards in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. The house has a similar relationship with its customers to that of a single Domaine in Burgundy, customers avoid paying the premium of a high profile house but have access to wines of outstanding quality.
The Dethune family have a strong following in export markets and we expect their wines to appear in top UK restaurants in the coming months.
Ambonnay is one of only 17 villages in Champagne with Grand Cru status and has a worldwide reputation for the quality of the Pinot Noir raised in the surrounding vineyards (Champagne Krug own vineyards here - Clos d'Ambonnay - currently their most prestigious cuvee).
