Since 1610, Champagne Paul D\u00e9thune\u2019s home and vineyards have been located in the village of Ambonnay, in the Champagne region. This land bears the Grand Cru name of excellence which only 17 villages have the honour to carry. Its reputation is based on its unique expression of Pinot Noir, which combines pleasurably with Chardonnay, the white variety in Champagne. Pierre and his wife Sophie use organic fertilizers and practice sustainable viticulture. The estate is certified \u201cHigh Environmental Value\u201d (H.V.E.) and \u201cSustainable Viticulture in Champagne\u201d (V.D.C.). All cuv\u00e9es are aged in 205-litre champagne barrels and 32-hectolitre oak vats, developing highly complex aromas and textures in the wines. From the seven hectares cultivated by Pierre D\u00e9thune, come ten Grand Cru wines \u2013 all aged in the estate\u2019s cellars, which were cut out of the chalk in the 17th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20934,"template":"","country":[145],"class_list":["post-20762","brand","type-brand","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-france"],"yoast_head":"\n
