More information

This is a grower's champagne from the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay.
The Dethune family own 7ha of vineyards. 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).

Pierre is committed to respecting the environment. They do not spray insecticides and plant cover crops. They have installed solar panels which produce 20% of their electricity consumption. They also collect rainwater which reduces their water consumption by 20% as well.
