Deutz Cuvee William Deutz 2008

Served from the 375-milliliter bottle, the white-golden 2008 Cuvee William Deutz Brut Millésime offers a complex, concentrated and chalky bouquet; this leads to a complex, very pure and persistent palate with a lovely oxidative flavor. The finish is clear, fresh, long and very stimulating.

A high proportion of Pinot Noir gives this Deutz prestige cuvée richness as well as a strong green fruit character. Citrus, green apples and intense acidity underpin this finely understated wine. Drink from 2018.

A smoothly honed, precise and seductively textural Champagne that has impressive lemon, grapefruit and peach character, all combined with lightly toasty hazelnuts and a smooth, creamy sorbet-like texture. There's neat balance, freshness and vivacity here. Drink now through to 2022.
