D* Deutz Brut Classic

NOTE: As part of our Explorer Series some labels may be slightly stained/damaged, but wines are first quality. Vintage may vary.

Winemaker Notes

An intense golden appearance is topped with a mousse of great finesse – the Deutz signature – characteristic of wines having benefited from long maturation on the lees. On the nose, the wine initially displays floral notes (hawthorn blossom, white flowers), followed by aromas of toast, marzipan and ripe fruits (apples, pears). In the mouth, the freshness of the Chardonnay and the richness of the Pinot Noir enhance the wine’s full-bodied elegance, presenting a wine with finely integrated aromas and a silky texture. The wine is well-rounded with an intensely fruity finish.
Professional Ratings

95 Decanter
A richness of dried orchard fruit and roasted spice counterbalanced with a blaze of mineral intensity. Creamy and complete leaving a trail wonderful fresh acidity in its wake.

COMMENTARY: The Champagne Deutz Brut Classic is excellent from start to finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of chalk, dried apples, and earth. Enjoy its palate staying power with pan-fried Petrale sole in a savory cream sauce. (Tasted: April 27, 2022, San Francisco, CA)
91 Wine Spectator

A lively, mineral-driven Champagne, with crisp acidity animating flavors of grainy pear, white cherry, preserved lemon and toast point as they ride the finely detailed, vivid bead. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
90 James Suckling

A ripe and exotic style, showing stone fruit and yellow plums with peppery minerality and apple character. Almost frothy bubbles with light body and crisp acidity. A bit empty on the midpalate yet fruity in the finish.
90 Wine Enthusiast

Blending the three main Champagne varieties, this nonvintage Champagne is ripe, with a white-fruit aroma and rich apple and citrus flavors. A touch of minerality completes the wine.
90 Jeb Dunnuck

A vibrant silver/straw color, the NV Champagne Classic Brut is a charming introduction to the range from Deutz, taking on a dewy and springy style, with aromas of honeydew melon, guava, fresh lily, and wet stones. Medium-bodied, with an energetic mousse and a clean, refreshing lift on the finish, its classic aperitif style is welcoming and begs to be enjoyed in its youth.
