Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

After a final harvest in 2022, which will be remembered as excellent for the quality of the grapes, Michel Davesne hands over the keys to the winery to Caroline Latrive, but the fundamentals of this fine Aÿ house, founded in 1838, remain. Most of the supplies come from within a 30-kilometer radius of Epernay, the three grape varieties are given pride of place, and vinification is carried out in stainless steel vats, as is the storage of reserve wines. The range is well-constructed, with the exception of the non-vintage rosé, which could do with a little more depth. Enjoy the blanc de blancs, the cuvée Amour, and of course the William Deutz and Hommage à William Deutz.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Originally from Aachen, wine merchants William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann founded this prestigious firm in 1838. Long a family-run business, it became part of the Roederer group in 1993. Renowned for its meticulous blends (30 to 40 different crus for its Brut Classic), it has 46 hectares of its own vineyards and sources its wines from within a 30 km radius of the Aÿ grand cru in the Grande Vallée de la Marne. In 2023, Fabrice Rosset, after 26 years as president of the company, has handed over to Marc Hoellinger, while Michel Davesne, who has retired, has handed over the keys to the winery to Caroline Latrive, who joins from Ayala...

About the wine:

A light, salmon-colored color reveals a flattering nose that combines citrus fruits (lime zest), orange and elderflower in a fresh, airy ensemble. The palate is refined, with a suave, charming texture. Exotic fruit and baskets of small red berries play an important part in the fresh balance. The finish is particularly fruity, with a hint of salivating bitterness.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

The two 2016s, buoyed by this lovely vintage, are loose and open, with elegance and substance. The Brut 2016 is floral and chalky.

About the domain :

This veritable house, part of the Rouzaud family (Louis Roederer champagnes), is ploughing its own furrow, imposing the regularity of its range in a well-established, precise and vinous style. In a minor revolution, Marc Hoellinger, who transferred from LVMH, succeeded Fabrice Rosset, who had been at the helm for a quarter-century. The owner of a large Champagne estate, notably in Montagne de Reims, Deutz continues to produce champagnes faithful to their terroir of origin, predominantly Pinot, that are classic, elegant, deep and straightforward. Each year, the house produces a fine Brut Classic, precise and structured, with fine bubbles. A master of black grapes, Deutz also knows how to shine in blanc de blancs with Amour de Deutz, a wine that is both racy and invigorating. As in the previous edition, the rosés are subtle and just right. We're delighted to see that the rest of the range holds its own.

About the wine:

This Champagne is round yet mature. The white fruits have added a yeasty character, while retaining acidity and minerality.

About the wine:

Complex nose of candied orange peel, bergamot, apricot and brioche. Elegant, racy Champagne despite excellent midpalate structure. Long, very straight, crisp finish with real minerality. Very fine mousse. Over 60% Pinot Noir, including a large proportion from Ay, Mareuil and Bouzy, one-third Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs and only 5% Pinot Meunier. For drinking or cellaring.

About the wine:

Effusive and fleshy, Champagne Millésime Brut 2016 has a medium gold hue and aromas of golden apple, ginger and honeyed citrus. Medium- to full-bodied, it is expansive on the palate, with a soft texture and ripe fruit on the finish. Generous with biscuity notes on the finish, it's ready to drink now and cellar for the medium term. Drink between 2023 and 2030.
