The 2014 vintage in Champagne
After a very rainy winter, the mild, dry spring favored harmonious flowering. The cool, damp summer slowed down the growing cycle, causing some concern. Fortunately, September brought sunshine and warmth, allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. The harvest took place in perfect conditions, producing healthy, well-balanced grapes. The 2014 vintage is distinguished by its harmony, aromatic richness and aging potential.
The production of William Deutz 2014 champagne
A refined blend of Pinot Noir (67%) from the terroirs of Aÿ, Bouzy and Verzenay, Chardonnay (28%) from Avize, Mesnil, Chouilly and Villers-Marmery, and Pinot Meunier (5%) from the Chamery terroir. Each grape variety was carefully vinified to express the typical characteristics of its terroir. The wine was then aged for a long time on lees to develop complexity, finesse and depth.

Bright, brilliant gold, with fine, regular effervescence.

Sunny and very expressive, it combines ripe yellow fruits (peach, apricot, mango), pastry notes (mirabelle plum tart), acacia honey, hints of blond tobacco, spices, and candied ginger.
