2013 Cuvee William Champagne Deutz

Pinot Noir / Chardonnay / Black Riesling

James Suckling 96 points: Discreet and nuanced nose, showing lemon-curd, brioche and pie-crust notes. A hint of savory umami, too. Beautiful integration of autolysis with the fruit. Subtle and creamy, with a really fine, nicely woven perlage that is closely knit with the zesty citrus fruit. Elegant, chalky and long, with a gentle and mouthwatering finish. There is power even it is more about finesse and elegance here. Drink now or hold.

Parker - Kelly 91+ points: Offering up a pretty bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, beeswax, clear honey and fresh bread, the 2013 Brut Millésimé is medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with a pretty core of fruit, a boisterous pinpoint mousse and a penetrating finish. This classically acid-driven vintage will really come into its own with some additional bottle age.
