Deutz - Brut Champagne Classic NV (750ml)
The Morrell family and Champagne Deutz go back to the 1970s when Deutz was Morrell?s private label Champagne. We loved it then and we love it even more today. Owned by Champagne Louis Roederer it is better than ever!
On the nose the first impressions are mellow and reminscent of acacia flowes confectionery reinette apples and brioche. The voluminous wine has a silky velvety structure which displays a harmonious balance between the freshness of the chardonnay the fruity structure of the pinot noir and vinosity of petit meunier."

"Sniff it and you sense the complexity definition and elegance. Good tiny bubbles stream up steadily bringing notes of chalk candied fruit and caramel. In the mouth it fills out across the palate with mixed flavors that show stone fruits caramel and oily slightly buttery nuts. Very approachable yet complex refined and aristocratic."

"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. "
