Champagne Deutz Brut Classic NV
Champagne, FranceDeutz is based in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, just west of Épernay, and they have been there since 1838. The Rouzaud family, owners of Louis Roederer, purchased Deutz in 1983. Deutz is part of a small group of producers using only free press juice, and combined with a large percentage of reserve wine (40 percent), that adds substantial complexity and a hint of the famous goût anglais to the finish. The blend is equal parts chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier, presenting with floral, mineral notes followed by cherries, red liquorice, red apple, honey and brioche. The acid is firm and invites chicken pot pie, white fish/shellfish stew, or vegetable risotto.Tasted: 04 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |

Champagne Deutz Brut Classic NV
Champagne, FranceSince 1838 Deutz has been based in the Grand Cru village of Ay, just west of Epernay. In 1983 the Rouzaud family, owners of Louis Roederer, purchased Deutz. The Brut Classic contains 25 percent reserves and one third each of chardonnay/pinot meunier/pinot noir, 9 g/l dosage. Riffing white cherry, biscuit, red liquorice, red apple, herbal honey, on a rustic, grippy palate. Lees is evident, but rather than smoothing out the palate, roughs it up. This bottle is certainly one that welcomes pairing: poultry pot pie, white fish / shellfish stew, vegetable risotto.Tasted: 09 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |

Champagne Deutz Brut Classic NV
Champagne, FranceThere is something friendly about this Deutz with its refined mousse and attractive leesy nose. The blend is almost equal parts pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay that exudes a rich but balanced style with creamy, nutty citrus aromas and flavours. Subtlety and style so well balanced it is at home with or without food. Enjoy with sushi or sashimi or simply with oven-warmed cheese twists.Tasted: 22 December 2009Tasted by: Prices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
