Paul Dethune Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru NV

Dethune is probably one of our all-time great finds. A family-owned, grown, and produced Champagne house since 1610 (!!) in Ambonnay, the family owns excellent plots of Grand Cru vineyards and makes wines so good for the price it STILL boggles our minds.

This cuvee is 100% Pinot Noir and is vinified in 205 liter champagne oak barrels in the family cellars, which were cut out of the chalk in the 17th century. The insider tip: *whispers quietly* this is mostly single-vineyard Les Crayeres, one of the most coveted single-vineyards in all of ChampagneThe style is slightly on the toasty side, brilliantly focused and balanced with crystallized citrus fruits, ginger, vanilla bean and brioche, with fine bubbles and a wonderful, harmonious texture and weight.

Normally $80, today this gorgeous, fine, immensely satisfying bottle of goodness is in your hands for $59.95 with free shipping on 3+ bottles -- while it lasts!

PAIRING IDEAS: We’ll say it again -- fried chicken. It’s safe to say that during 2020 we ate a lot of comfort foods like fried chicken and truffle mac n cheese and such, and there is nothing better to cut the richness of it than bubbly, especially kickass “farmer fizz” like this!!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: No rules when it comes to Champagne. Whatever gets your body moving is the rule of the day. Excuse us, we’re going to put some classic Madonna on.
