Tasting notes
The nose of Deutz’s 1998 Blanc de Blancs brought to mind the sumptuously ripe and juicy Royal Riviera Pears produced and marketed by Oregon’s Harry & David. Armed with superb richness and depth, this wine is Puligny-Montrachet-like in its glorious pear and floral flavors. Notes of toasty yeast appear in its exceptionally long, silky finish.

Vivid light gold color, with an energetic mousse. Pure and expressive on the nose, with vivacious scents of jasmine, honeysuckle, star fruit and Anjou pear. On the palate, the intense, finely etched pear, apple and acacia honey flavors are nicely concentrated, crisp and refreshing. There's nothing heavy or broad-shouldered about this finely balanced, precise wine, which should age very well. An outstanding example of its vintage.
