Cuvée William Deutz 2006 is a stylish champagne that goes perfectly with the finest dishes, such as caviar, omble-chevalier or pan-fried foie gras.
Made from Pinot Noir (67%), Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Meunier (3%), it brings together the finest Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of Champagne, including Aÿ, Avize, Bouzy, Vertus and Villers-Marmery.
2006 was marked by alternating rainy and hot spells. Harvesting took place in a very favorable climate, resulting in grapes of excellent ripeness and acidity.
The wine's bronze-tinted color is enhanced by golden highlights and fine sparkling strands.
The nose is highly complex, offering an incredible range of aromas. Notes are at once floral (hawthorn), fruity (mirabelle plum, yellow cherries) and spicy (licorice).
The palate is rich in yellow-fleshed fruit. Its generosity is underpinned by a beautiful minerality, all united in perfect harmony.
The long finish augurs great ageing potential.
