Champagne Deutz 2015 William Deutz MEURTET (Pinot Noir), brut, 12% vol., GP

Bright medium light yellow with light bronze reflections and fine sparkling carbon dioxide. An elegant wine that presents itself harmoniously and in which aromas of yellow and light fruits (apricots, yellow sweet cherries) combine to form a captivating unity that even a hint of liquorice cannot disturb. Cherries and notes of red fruits on the palate. The limestone soil gives this champagne a gradually increasing minerality that lasts until the finish. The special terroir and fine fruits combine to form a perfect whole: a truly exceptional Pinot Noir! 94 Parker points, 95 points Falstaff A tribute to William Deutz, who from the very beginning always paid attention to the special features of the locations for the production of his cuvees. William Deutz was an advocate of terroir, firmly of the opinion that a great wine can only grow on great terroir. The vineyards of Ay are spread over a huge chalk cliff (belemnite), covered by a thin layer of limestone and clay. This terroir is responsible for the strong mineral expression of the great Pinot Noir of Ay. The two plots La Cote Glaciere and Meurtet reflect maximum intensity, structure and minerality. This champagne comes exclusively from the `Meurtet` plot, located above the winery and facing east.
