Deutz Hommage William Deutz Parcelle Meurtet 2012 (Magnum)

Wineadvocate

The 2012 Brut Blanc de Noir Parcelle d'Aÿ Meurtet Hommage à William Deutz is showing nicely, offering up aromas of warm orchard fruit, honeycomb, desiccated orange rind and subtle hints of praline. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with crisp acids, an elegantly fleshy core and good grip on the finish. This derives entirely from Deutz's holdings in the climat Meurtet in Aÿ.

Vinous

The 2012 Brut Millésimé William Deutz Pinot Noir Meurtet, from vines in Aÿ, is bright, floral and beautifully lifted. The richness of the year becomes evident as the wine sits in the glass. Pear, white flowers, sage, mint and a kick of spice are all nicely layered. Bright, chalky notes lend focus, extending the finish effortlessly. What a gorgeous Champagne this is. - AG 11/2021

Suckling

Very aromatic with strawberries and orange peel and a subtle bread-dough undertone. Full-bodied with a very fine bead, giving the Champagne a creamy texture that follows through to beautiful and refined fruit at the end. Relatively dry. Drink now.
