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.

alcohol by volume: 12.0%

critical acclaim:

"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

"Light gold. Orchard and pit fruits on the fragrant nose. Broad and fleshy on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, with good depth to its spicy nectarine and pear flavors. A late note of candied lemon adds bite and lift to the long, juicy finish."

I first has this champagne in Paris last year and love it - we drank some every night! Very bubbly. Nice taste. I feel it's up there with the Veuve Clicquot. (I didn't give it five stars because I figure the Krug Grande Cuvee is a true five star champagne for special occasions!) For me, I like it more than Veuve and it reminds me of the fun I had on my first trip to Paris.

I tasted this excellent bubbly when I was recently in the UK at an upmarket pub. I asked for a glass of champagne when I only wanted to sip a drink and was shocked when I tasted it. Deutz makes a smooth, mellow champagne with hints of apricots and vanilla. I had to ask the bartender what I was drinking and found out that this is so good they made it their house champagne. Of course at 15 dollars a glass it wasn't cheap but worth it! On my return to the US I started looking around for Deutz and found the best price on Wine.com. I ordered two bottles for my daughter's graduation and wasn't disappointed. This will be our house champagne. If you like a bubbly with lots of bubbly bubbles that tastes like it's bottled for a Prince or Princess then this one's for you!
