Deutz : Vintage Brut 2018

There’s a creamy, nappe-like texture to the mousse that lends weight to this minerally Champagne, playing off the racy acidity. It’s a harmonious frame for flavors of patisserie pear and apple, blanched almond, with accents of grated ginger, oyster shell and verbena. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. Drink now through 2035.
