Deutz Hommage a William Deutz Meurtet, Champagne Deutz 2012

Tasting Notes

Slightly more opulent on the nose than the other new single-vineyard 2012 from Deutz. Lots of strawberries and cooked pears with biscuit undertones. Full-bodied, very deep and flavorful with lots of beautiful fruit and a long, long finish. Fantastic. Drink now.

The 2012 Brut Blanc de Noir Parcelle d'Aÿ Meurtet Hommage à William Deutz is showing nicely, offering up aromas of warm orchard fruit, honeycomb, desiccated orange rind and subtle hints of praline. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with crisp acids, an elegantly fleshy core and good grip on the finish. This derives entirely from Deutz's holdings in the climat Meurtet in Aÿ.

The 2012 Meurtet Brut is clear, fine intense and fruity but so delicate on the nose. Rich and powerful on the palate, maybe a bit too much, this is an elegant, refined and persistent Pinot Noir from Aÿ. It's well structured and very long. Impressive, but you have to match it. Tasted from LM 116D19918 in February 2019.
