Hommage À William Deutz ‘Meurtet’

Champagne Deutz is a notable Champagne house of the Aÿ region. It was founded in 1838 by wine merchants William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann. Deutz is well-known for its balanced, elegant wines made from the classic Champagne blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Nearly 80 percent of grapes is sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites. In 1983, after generations of ownership by the Deutz and Geldermann families, the company was sold to the Rouzaud family, the owners of Louis Roederer.

The 2015 Meurtet cuvée from Maison Deutz is a Tribute to William Deutz cuvée inaugurated in 2010, resulting from an exclusive vinification of the Meurtet plot: a plot of Pinot Noir located in Aÿ, facing east which gives pinots while finesse and precision.

On the nose, the aromas of white and yellow fruits form a cosmopolitan and united brotherhood. The range widens in the mouth and other "colors" join the ranks with the tasty notes of red fruits. The nobility of the fruit and the terroir unite to sublimate themselves. Like well-born personalities, the time of a generation will bring much to all the attributes of this exceptional Pinot Noir.

This Hommage à William Deutz single-variety and parcel-based "Meurtet" champagne from the very great 2015 vintage is housed in its free gift box.
