Description

Bright yet pale in colour, the nose is mineral in character with notes of wet stones followed by white flowers, honey and almonds. The palate is smoothly textured but with crisp acidity leading to an elegant and long-lasting finish.

About this WINE

Deutz

Deutz

Deutz are one of the grandest Champagne houses in the village of Ay, where they are near neighbours to Bollinger. Founded in 1838 and now under the discrete ownership of Maison Louis Roederer, their finely-crafted range is currently inspiring great critical acclaim, from their outstanding Classic range all the way up to the rare deluxe cuvées, William Deutz and the sublime Blanc de Blancs, Amour de Deutz, which is only released in the very best years. Along with Charles Heidsieck, Deutz is making the most exciting range of any of the Grandes Marques at the moment.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.

Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
