Notes | |||
"The most "classical" of the Deutz cuvees is far from mundane. The three different champagne grapes are blended in equal and unchanging proportions, ensuring it shows perfect harmony. Its golden color scintillates in the glass, with a fine stream of bubbles rising gracefully to the surface. The first impressions on the nose are mellow and reminiscent of acacia flowers, confectionery, Reinette apples, and brioche. The wine then gains in volume and its silky texture reveals a successful balance between the freshness of Chardonnay, the fruitiness and structure of Pinot Noir and a touch of vinosity from the Pinot Meunier." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The latest release of Deutz's NV Brut Classic is showing nicely, offering up notes of citrus, crisp orchard fruit, fresh bread and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, with a nicely layered core of fruit and a pearly mousse, it's pure and elegant, exemplifying the house's understated style." —Wine Advocate |
