This is really nice! Lots of croissant dough and grapefruit with hints of what i can only describe as an orange blossom cocktail! Maybe there's some fresh apricot in there too. This is a lovely NV champagne that i may have to find more of.

A new load of these, fresh off the truck. We couldn’t wait but it was in good shape (despite the travel and crazy heat)
Same as previous reviews, this remains our favorite go to house champagne and has been for 20 years. It may be 5x the price but we are still drinking it. It has a distinct grapefruit note that I don’t find often, even in other Paul Dethune Cuvees.

From Last Bubbles:
Pure freshness and untamed verve without sacrificing the ripe fruit orchard characteristics that is definitively Ambonnay.
Bright, mineral, and deliciously aromatic with warm toasty croissant dough, honeysuckle, apricot, and orange blossom. Dry but not austere, beautifully generous, long, and intense to the very last sip.

2015 Paul Dethune Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Les Crayères

8/2/2023 - adnorthup wrote: NR

BdN from Les Crayeres vineyard. Disgorged January 2021 after almost 5 years in bottle. 2009 bottles produced. Really inviting nose, full or fruit and toffee. The first sip though, is full of piercing lemon-y acid, muffling the red apple notes behind it. Gave it 20 minutes of air and the acid tempers, but the wine gives off lemon lime soda notes. Another hour and it settles into spiced apple pie notes which I quite enjoy. I’d keep hands off this for quite awhile.

Very good entry-level champagne, if you could call it that. Powerful wine, both on the nose and on the palet. Green apples, almond and brioche. Some oak notes. Long finish. Very nice.

2018 base, composed of 80% Pinot noir, 20% Chardonnay. 50% reserve wines, disgorged July 2021. Lovely light pink color. First sip is a rush of ripe summer strawberries and light watermelon. Very nice finishing acid, a lovely texture as well. A really nice rose.

Fantastic! First time I tried this producer, pleasantly surprised. Aromas of bruised apples, custard, hazelnut (oak?), Meyer lemon, slightly stewed wild strawberry, oxidative notes. Very fresh yet with supporting fruit concentration and length. Creamy mousse. Mineral. Extremely long. Others mentioned Bollinger-like. Great value, I wish had more. I will enjoy the other bottle in 5 years.

better than expected, baroque style, maybe a hint too sweet but compared to the style well balanced. Some nuts, honey and candied fruits but with vivid acidity. At his peak. Good expression for 2004. 92

Similar impressions as Collector1855. Fantastic Champagne, very cool method to keep the cork in tact. Champagne was fresh, a darker tint of yellow (which I love), rich, and textured. Certainly drinking above its price point. Lovely stuff, in spite of the perceived vintage.

Much more open than the 2012 which I tried recently. I was surprised how good this was just from pnp. Not sure the dosage on this but it was drinking just very slightly sweeter than I would have liked—that’s my only complaint. Otherwise drinking incredibly well with complexity and intensity on the nose and palate.

Popped and poured to celebrate a personal achievement because we often don’t celebrate the little things enough, right? As a longtime fan of the Champagnes by Paul Dethune, the Cuvée Prestige “Princess des Thunes” pours a brilliant golden color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, loads of brioche and lightly toasted croissant, lemon bar, meringue, raspberries, Marcona almonds, honeysuckle and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry. Acid is medium+. Confirming the notes from the nose. The texture is creamy, with an almost oily character as it warms, giving this a rich, almost round impression of the fruit. No doubt the generous addition of reserve wines going back the last four plus decades contributes to this richness. The low dosage acts like a bustier giving a very appealing, sexy lift.

This is a really lovely 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 70% of the blend coming from the base vintage (unknown). The other 30% of this cuvée comes from a solera of 34hl oak tuns with vintages going back to the 1970’s. Super delicious stuff that was finished all too quickly. Disgorged in March of 2021.

At the end of a busy day and by this point I’m not sure I was tasting quite as well as I might have. This was a solid champagne. Didn’t particularly stand out, but was tasty enough. Drank easily.

Served in Lehmann Jamesse Prestige stems after a brief chill. At first lots of red apple, followed by more strawberries and white chocolate on the nose. Lively mousse, middle weight mouthfeel. Nice richness and gentle acidity, appealing flavor profile with the quality of the fruit evident. Fresh and not heavy. Could it have had a bit more tension and complexity? Sure, ideally, but at this pricepoint it was a very nice example of type. Paired well with some Midnight Moon cheese and Smoking Goose rabbit and pork terrine. A note to the cult of low dosage that you lose flexibility when you insist on level. 9 g/L may not be my most preferred style, but sometimes my most preferred style would not be the best pairing. This was an excellent match, and a good use for champagnes of this ilk. Very nice indeed.

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Pours a golden color with a luxurious and persistent mousse. Beautifully perfumed with raspberries, strawberries, limoncello and toasted brioche. On the palate, bone dry with medium+ acid. The notes from the nose are confirmed and accompanied by chalky minerals. The finish is long, rich and rather round for an Extra Brut…but so balanced and hugely becoming. 100% Pinot Noir almost exclusively from “Les Crayers”. This is a baller Champagne and, to my palate, rivals Bereche Brut Reserve in terms of value for money. Disgorged April 2021.

Drank from mag. Showed well on pouring, as the rich, ripe orchard fruits pop out of the glass. The fruit is well packed on a solid backbone of acidity and freshness.

I did not have this with fried chicken, but this is definitely a great wine for fried chicken (at least one CT reviewer agrees!)
