Deutz Brut Classic (375ML half-bottle)
Non-Vintage
from Champagne, France
winemaker's notes:
The distinctive house style of elegance and finesse which has made Champagne Deutz one of the most respected of all Champagne houses, is reflected in this fine non-vintage Champagne. Matured according to traditional methods from a blend of several vintages from twenty of the best crus of Champagne, it reaches a perfect balance of flavor.
critical acclaim:
"Pale gold hue with a tint of copper. Aromas of toast and bread dough with a whiff of beer. Accessible flavors of honeydew melon and caramel followed by peach and mango notes. Rich, lasting tropical fruit flavors balanced by fresh acidity in the close."

The Wine News
"There's an aromatic floral note to the flavors of apricot, ripe apple, smoky mineral, kumquat and lemon zest in this firm bubbly, which is fine-grained and balanced, with a lively, moderate finish. Drink now through 2015. 8,500 cases imported. "

Wine Spectator
"The NV Brut Classic is a pretty, entry-level wine. Warm, generous fruit comes together beautifully in this rich, expansive, mid-weight Champagne. The bouquet, texture and purity of the finish are all first-rate. The Brut Classic is equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Like all Deutz Champagnes, it undergoes full malolactic fermentation. This is Lot LB1100D0169, disgorged January, 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014."

The Wine Advocate
"This wine's concentrated flavors focus on mineral richness rather than freshness, lemon pith rather than zest. Its green apple and pear fruit blends into the chalkiness, all of a piece. For wood-roasted oysters.

Pleasant and tasty. Bubbles last all evening. Excellent alone, with fruit or light shellfish dishes. Easily adoptable as your "house" NV label.
