Tasting notes
Very mouth-filling and more lifted and lacy than the 2011 Amour de Deutz. A hedonistic aperitif? I can just imagine sinking into a red velvet seat in Paris with a glass of this. A very light touch on the ageing button… (JR)

Served from the 375-milliliter bottle, the white-golden 2008 Cuvee William Deutz Brut Millésime offers a complex, concentrated and chalky bouquet; this leads to a complex, very pure and persistent palate with a lovely oxidative flavor. The finish is clear, fresh, long and very stimulating.
The 2008 Brut William Deutz (375ml) is powerful, rich and intense, with plenty of warm, toasty notes that lend richness to the Chardonnay. Orange peel, candied apricot, pastry and butter notes flesh out in an expressive, layered Champagne to drink now and over the next few years. This is a distinctly rich, tropically-leaning style with considerable Pinot Noir richness. Readers who like big, ample Champagnes will find much to enjoy here. The 375ml bottles will be sold as a boxed set along with the 2008 Amour de Deutz and Amour de Deutz Rosé.
