Deutz Champagne ‘Brut
Classic’ NV
38% PN, 30% Ch, 32% PM.
Deepish straw yellow with pale edge.
Absolutely textbook nose of Pinot Noir fruit and yeast autolysis. Tight and refined, with excellent depth. Dry, with excellent depth and concentration
of flavour. Good Pinot Noir expression
of body and depth. The mousse is
settling, but the acidity is more than sufficient for freshness. Crisp, fine, and really quite elegant. Complexity of flavour from time on cork
appearing. 18.0+/20 RC Feb 06

Champagne Brut NV
Ay-Champagne, 12.0% alc., 30% Ch, 38% PN, 32% PM
Pale straw colour. Very
fine and tight on the nose, excellent concentration, textbook purity of fruit
and balanced autolysis. Palate is the
same, with fabulous finesse and concentration, power with delicacy, real style
and length on the finish. 18.5/20 RC Nov 05
