Champagne Deutz Classic Brut NV

Champagne from France - Champagne

7 Reviews

Champagne Deutz is rather less well-known in the UK as most of the production is drunk enthusiastically in France! They make fine, pure Champagne in a style that is dry, graceful and delicate. A bright and crisp Champagne with a very precise mouthfeel, pin-head bubbles and a fine toasty finish.

Deutz

Deutz is an outstanding if discreet Champagne house based in the historic town of Ay, founded in 1838 by William Deutz.

Owning a significant portion of its own vineyards, Deutz selects only the highest rated grapes from vineyards in the top crus of Champagne. The production here, around 2 million bottles, makes them a relatively small player in Champagne, allowing them to focus entirely on quality.

Across the Deutz range, the house style stands out for finesse, subtlety and precision, with flavours of immense purity. They are one of the few houses that only use the first pressing (called the cuvée) which is the highest quality juice. Deutz use a high percentage of reserve wines, around 40%, which contributes complexity and depth, and the full range of permitted grapes (the Brut Classic, Brut Vintage and top prestige label William Deutz, is a mix of both pinots and chardonnay).

The wines age in underground chalk cellars, 20 metres deep.

The bouquet sings offloral note allied with lemon zest and twists of brioche, the palate fluentlycarrying on with the refrain of the bouquet and honey. It's beautifully poisedand sumptuous with enduring persistence and a creamy, silky mouthfeel. Well worththe high pricetag.

A notably clean,fresh and low-dosage example with bright citrus-like acidity; not overlycomplex but very typically Champagne in structure, with admirable length tofinish.
