From a single steep vineyard of 50-year-old Pinot Noir, this tribute cuvée shows aromatic brightness with minerals, white pepper, mint, and citrus on the nose. The lean, creamy palate reveals salty oyster notes on a delicate acid core, with fruit-sweet texture and soft mousse. A wine of notable mineral inflections that can age gracefully through 2035.

"Deutz’s 2015 Brut Millésimé William Deutz La Côte Glacière is redolent of chalk, white pepper, mint, citrus and ripe pear. A wine of notable aromatic brightness, the Côte Glacière exudes tons of mineral inflections. Linear, bold and explosive in its sheer power, the Côte Glacière is wonderfully finessed and precise within the context of the year. There are no strong vegetal 2015 notes here. Even so, I would prefer to drink it on the early side, just to be on the safe side." —Antonio Galloni

"This offers a wonderfully plush and creamy mouthfeel, yet it does so without excessive weight. This is buoyed by deftly-honed acidity that creates a sleek frame for the chalky underpinning and flavors of steeped black cherry, chopped almond, lemon thyme and Mandarin orange peel. Fine and distinctive, with a long finish."

"The second of a pair of Champagnes coming from single parcels in Aÿ, this Champagne is finely textured, with superb balance between the mature fruit and great acidity. It is now ready to drink."

More about Deutz

The Grower Champagne movement has encouraged us to explore Champagne’s many regions, villages and vineyard sites. Meanwhile, Champagne houses – good ones like Deutz – offer a slightly different kind of adventure, and it is one that we highly recommend embarking on.

Deutz was not always a great Champagne house. Although famous back in the 19th century, at the end of the 20th century it was yet another medium-sized house churning lackluster Champagnes for supermarkets. Then it was purchased by the same family that owns Louis Roederer – perhaps the best of the big houses -- and everything changed. Investment money came in, and rigorous production methods were introduced. Deutz is now considered one of the top houses by in-the-know Champagne lovers.

So what adventure can it offer? An exploration of an attractive and unique “house style”. That is what the great houses offer: not necessarily a terroir-specific wine (though they are increasingly producing single-vineyard wines), but rather a specific philosophy and style.

The Deutz philosophy is expressed in its wine-making. First, there is a very slow, low-temperature fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to proceed naturally. The wines are never aged in oak barrels, resting only in steel cuves (or in bottle). This method is a bit unusual, but quite traditional, and actually very similar to what they do at Billecart-Salmon.

The style combines fresh elegant fruit, easy drinkability and vinosity. Deutz thinks of their Champagnes as wines to enjoy with a meal.
