"A true benchmark of remarkable precision!

"With its ripe fruit (pear, peach), we can recognize the 2019 base, a warm year, a greediness of fruit that continues on the palate, in the roundness, with a lush bubble. An excellent brut". (Bettane & Dessauve 2024).

Fairly deep gold color, with very fine beading.

Nose

Very expressive bouquet, revealing floral notes (hawthorn, white flowers, etc.) followed by aromas of toast, marzipan and ripe fruit.

Mouth

Combines the freshness of Chardonnay, the unctuousness of Pinot and an elegant vinosity. The aromas are well blended and the texture silky.

Food and wine pairing

Food and wine pairing

This very "classic" champagne is the most eclectic in the Deutz range: an ideal aperitif, it can also accompany fish in sauce (salmon, turbot, Saint-Pierre), poultry and white meats in particular...

Wine rated (guide 2024) 93/100

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

About the wine:

The ripe fruitiness (pear, peach) reveals the 2019 base, a warm year, with a greediness of fruit that continues on the palate, in the roundness, with a lush bubble. An excellent brut.

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.

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...

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:

Brut Classic asserts its full, vinous style with delicate bubbles.

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:

Very attractive nose of lemon blossom and lemon meringue pie. Very elegant and delicate, with an inner strength that doesn't make it at all imposing. I love the interplay between fine mousse and citrus on the medium-bodied palate. Long finish with subtle spicy notes. Drink now.

About the wine:

A brilliant silver/straw color, Champagne Classic Brut NV is a charming introduction to the Deutz range. It has a fresh, spring-like style, with aromas of honeydew melon, guava, fresh lilies and wet stones. Medium-bodied, with an energetic mousse and a clean, refreshing finish, its classic aperitif style is inviting and begs to be enjoyed in its youth. Drink between 2023 and 2026.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 25/04/2022

Brut classic... very classic, with a "chic" green and gold label in the "Empire" style. Pale gold color, mischievous nose, fine, pearly bubbles. With aromas of yellow stone fruit and citrus, this cuvée displays a good balance between freshness and smoothness, thanks also to its toasty, vanilla notes. On the other hand, it lacks length and personality. The wine's finesse and lightness make it an all-purpose companion, ideal as an aperitif or with a fine Bresse poultry dish. It's a pity that this BSA, a victim of its own success, has seen its price rise exponentially, especially since its takeover by the Roederer family group: almost 20% in 1 year, which is becoming prohibitive! Therefore, score = 3.

My favorite champagne for a budget between 32 and 38 euros. A fleshy champagne with a long finish.

Admittedly, the bubbles are fine and the whole is elegant, but for my taste this champagne remains very "smooth", singularly lacking in character, sapidity and typicity.

A (very) slight disappointment, the Deutz Brut Classic was very good, whereas in our memories it represented excellence.
