The production of Deutz's 2018 Blanc de Blancs champagne
Blanc de Blancs 2018 is made exclusively from Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of Champagne. The grapes come from the prestigious Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, including Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, and Chouilly, as well as Villers-Marmery on the Montagne de Reims. These terroirs give the wine a mineral freshness and great elegance.
Vinification and aging take place in stainless steel vats, a method that preserves all the freshness and aromatic purity of the Chardonnay. After a long aging on lees for at least 48 months, this cuvée reaches optimal maturity. The dosage is light, at 7 g/L, providing a perfect balance between liveliness and roundness.

The year 2018 offered exceptional weather conditions in Champagne. A sunny spring and a hot summer allowed the grapes to ripen optimally, resulting in a generous and highly precise vintage. The 2018 Chardonnays are distinguished by their finesse, purity, and remarkable aging potential.
