91 / A-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 13 May 2008
Purple core with a ruby and violet rim. Blueberries leap from the glass, surrounded by wet earth and charcoal with bright crushed flower petals and fresh pencil shavings. Soft and sweet entry on the palate. Honeycomb flavors melt around blueberry and cinnamon spice. Full bodied with a lot of alcohol, but great balance and a long finish.
A blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Tempranillo. A fantastic, dense blend. Starting to show well now, and will continue to do so for another decade.

90 / A
Tasted by Mike Supple - 22 May 2008
Pale lemon yellow core with a clear rim. Tons of tiny bubbles fill the glass and stick around for quite a while. Rich aromas of yellow pear, lemon, slate, yeast, toasted brioche and a touch of raw honeycomb. Very crisp in the mouth with small yet aggressive bubbles. Citrus flavors of white grapefruit and Meyer lemon lead to ripe yellow pear and deeper notes of honeycomb and toasted baguette. Creamy and full of soft bubbles with the faintest hint of raspberries on the lingering finish.
Champagne Deutz as been producing one of the most elegant and finessed non-vintage Champagnes on the market for decades. Complex, rich and full without getting overbearing. Absolutely delicious and one of the better values to be found in Champagne.
