Hommage à William Deutz la Côte Glacière 2015

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

Pour it at 10 to 12 degrees 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 go well with it. As a single-vineyard champagne from the Hommage à William Deutz range, it comes in a gift box.
