Unveiling Complexity: A Deep Dive into Deutz Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2013
A Celebratory Vintage
The Deutz Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2013 is a Champagne for connoisseurs seeking a nuanced and expressive Blanc de Blancs experience. This vintage release, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, hails from a year that initially presented challenges. A late growing season, punctuated by hailstorms, ultimately yielded a harvest of surprising quality. Cool conditions during picking resulted in a wine characterised by freshness, minerality, and a remarkable ageing potential.
Aromatic Intrigue
Deut's signature smokiness mingles with vibrant citrus notes on the nose. Think ripe lemons and crisp Granny Smith apples, alongside a touch of exotic yellow fruit and a whisper of tropical intrigue. Hints of chalk dust, a signature of the Côte des Blancs vineyards where the majority of grapes originate, add a captivating mineral dimension.
A Dance on the Palate
The first sip of Deutz Blanc de Blancs 2013 is a revelation. The attack is direct and invigorating, bursting with refreshing acidity. A creamy texture emerges, seamlessly interwoven with a core of minerality that reflects the chalk-rich soils of the region. This interplay between richness and vibrancy is a hallmark of Deutz Champagnes.
As the wine unfolds on the palate, flavours of orchard fruits take centre stage. Pears and apples mingle with a hint of citrus zest, while a touch of white blossom adds a touch of elegance. The underlying minerality persists, providing a backbone that enhances the wine's structure and complexity.
The finish is long, lingering, and remarkably intense. The flavours slowly fade, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and finesse.
