This is a very tasty Grand Cru Champagne.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and medium plus size bubbles.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing limes, lemons, brioche, yeast, minerals, and green apples.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A nice sipping wine that will pair nicely with seafood.

Very young. Still somewhat unstructured and tannins that need to mellow. But good potential. — 4 months ago

I’m at 92-93 here, but this is absolutely going to improve. I should have bought more than just a couple!

Paul Dethune champagnes are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. This cuvée is 50/50 (Pinot noir/chard), with 30% coming from their Solera dating back to the 70s.

I’ve said that I feel Petit & Bajan are the equivalent of Bollinger Special Cuvée in grower form, but I stand corrected. THIS is Bolly SC with a grower champagne vibe. Gold in the glass. Aromatics of lemon cream, lemon croissant, golden raspberries, and honeycomb. On the palate, it has the toasted Bolly profile but it’s dialed back a touch…feels more focused. Less expansive, but there’s added power here. Beautifully balanced with the sweet (the fruit, not the dosage) and savory (honey roasted cashews, sea salt). Imagine Bolly SC and a CHeidsieck Blanc de Blanc…you’ve got this. Loved it. — 6 months ago
