Tasting notes
The 2008 Blanc de Blancs is attractive, but also a bit unusual in that it is quite open-knit considering the vintage and fruit sources predominantly in Avize and Mesnil. Scents of brioche, spice, vanilla and white orchard fruit all blossom in the glass. The 2008 is rich on the palate, yet also conveys an impression of translucent weightlessness. The blend is 51% Avize and 41% Mesnil, with touches of fruit from Villers Marmery, Cramant and Vertus.

Deutz's delicate 2008 Blanc de Blancs Brut has a brillant citrus yellow color with lime green reflections and opens with a corresponding clear and noble bouquet displaying white fruits, lemon juice and dashes of limes, nuts, flowers, herbs, brioche and crushed limestones. On the palate this is a light and highly elegant, finesse-full and delightfully fresh Champagne with a firm and persistent (mineral) length without getting big, dramatic or loud. This is a very distinguished, serious style of top class Champagne – a true classic you should not miss (at least at this price!). Le mousseux est très délicieux.
