A Legacy of Quality

Unveiling the Deutz Brut Classic: A Tasting Journey

Appearance: The Deutz Brut Classic pours a beautiful intense gold colour, hinting at the sunshine-kissed grapes that went into its creation. As the bubbles rise persistently, forming a fine and persistent mousse, a sense of anticipation builds.

Aroma: The first whiff reveals a captivating bouquet of aromas. Delicate notes of citrus fruits, such as white peach and grapefruit, mingle with hints of white flowers like acacia. Subtle hints of brioche and hazelnut emerge, hinting at the wine's maturation in the cellars. The overall impression is one of freshness, elegance, and complexity.

Palate: The first sip of Deutz Brut Classic is a revelation. The creamy mousse offers a delightful texture, while the flavours explode on the palate. The citrus and white flower notes from the aroma are joined by hints of honey, white almond, and a touch of minerality. The well-balanced acidity cuts through the richness, ensuring a refreshingly dry finish that lingers with a touch of toast.

Food Pairings to Elevate Your Experience

The Deutz Brut Classic's versatility makes it a perfect companion for various culinary delights. Here are some suggested food pairings to tantalise your taste buds:

• Canapés and Appetisers: Kick off your meal with a selection of light bites. Deutz Brut Classic complements smoked salmon blinis, creamy goat cheese with honey, or delicate seafood canapés.
• Shellfish: The Champagne's minerality and refreshing acidity beautifully match the sweetness of fresh oysters, prawns, or lobster.
• White Fish: Lighter fish dishes dressed with creamy sauces or citrusy flavours find a perfect match in the Deutz Brut Classic. Think sea bass with lemon butter sauce, Dover sole meunière, or cod in a creamy white wine sauce.
• Poultry: For a more substantial pairing, consider roasted chicken with herbs or pan-fried quail. The Champagne's richness complements the poultry's flavours without overpowering them.
• Hard Cheeses: Deutz Brut Classic pairs exceptionally well with hard cheeses like aged cheddar, Comté, or Gruyère. The contrasting textures create a delightful interplay on the palate.
