Hommage à William Deutz Meurtet 2015

Meurtet is a single vineyard in Aÿ, and Deutz bottles a pure Pinot Noir from it: a blanc de noirs from the 2015 vintage that carries the signature of a single parcel. The perlage is very fine. On the nose and palate yellow and white fruit dominate, with red fruit joining on the palate. It comes across as closed yet layered, with the nobility you expect from the Hommage à William Deutz prestige range.

Serve it at around 10 to 12 degrees in a wide white wine glass so the fruit can open up. It works as a refined aperitif, but it gives even more at the table: foie gras, Norwegian lobster and lobster make fitting partners. The bottle comes in a gift box.
