Hommage à William Deutz la Côte Glacière 2015

This single-variety Pinot Noir from Deutz, a blanc de noirs from the 2015 vintage, comes from the La Côte Glacière site in Aÿ. The nose is expressive: floral notes meet ripe fruit, pointing to well-ripened grapes. On the palate it is generous, balancing complexity and purity. The finish is promising, and the champagne should go on developing for several more years.

Pour it at 10 to 12°C in a large white wine glass. It works as an aperitif but also has its place at the table: grilled lobster, tuna carpaccio and soft cheese all go well with it. A single-vineyard champagne from the Hommage à William Deutz line, it is delivered in a gift box.
