Tasting notes
The 2012 Brut Millesime William Deutz Pinot Noir Meurtet, from vines in Ay, is bright, floral and beautifully lifted. The richness of the year becomes evident as the wine sits in the glass. Pear, white flowers, sage, mint and a kick of spice are all nicely layered. Bright, chalky notes lend focus, extending the finish effortlessly. What a gorgeous Champagne this is.

A bit nervier on the nose than its stablemate La C�te Glaci�re. Excellent tension and neatness. Strongly Pinot-perfumed. Long and nuanced, with a fine balance between fruit and structure. This seems really distinguished, and very persistent. There's a certain light smokiness.
Very aromatic with strawberries and orange peel and a subtle bread-dough undertone. Full-bodied with a very fine bead, giving the Champagne a creamy texture that follows through to beautiful and refined fruit at the end. Relatively dry. Drink now.
