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:
