Deutz, Cuvee William Deutz

Drinking very well right now! Nice and taut while also having a distinct roasted note. Great balance with notes of brioche, hazelnuts with an extremely precent autolysis note.

2009 vintage

Apple on the nose. On the palate very crsip. No bitterness. Very linear long finish

2009 vintage

Ripe yellow apples, vanilla, toasted nuts, citric acid, lemon peel, hay, rich and rich flavor, and strong persistence

아마 와인을 좀 마셔봤다는 사람들 이 와인 마셔보고 정보 찾아보면 놀랄 것이다. 그 놀랄 정보를 먼저 알려주자면 블렌딩이고, 피노누아가 60프로라는 것. 샴페인이란게 피노누아, 뫼니에, 샤도 스까인데 이게 왜 놀라운건지는? 노즈에서는 유명 샴페인 하우스의 플래그십답게 꽤나 다양한 향기가 나는 편이다. 주도적으로는 막걸리와는 조금 결이 다른 누룩향이 나는데 아주 고급스러운 청주같은 느낌. 이어서 시트러스 계열의 과실향도 꽤나 진한 편이다. 팔렛에서는 따르자마자 마셨을 때는 생각보다 산도가 강해서 놀랐다. 그래도 2009년이면 15년이 흘렀는데 아직도 강하기에 이건 무조건 샤도네이 백프로의 블랑 드 블랑이라고 생각했다. 그런데 …

Family Holidays; 7/28/2023-9/10/2023 (Alicante - España) : By the glass. Blend of 65% Pinot noir with 30% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier. Ten years of aging in barrels. Alcoholic volume of 12%. On the nose the memories of peaches, yellow plums and floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle triumph over the rest of nuts or pizza. On the palate it is offered as a full-bodied champagne, fragile but with density, multifaceted and very long. Recommended in its style. Bottle with a …

2009 vintage

Disappointing. Tasted and smelled much older than it should be. Flawed bottle maybe

1990 vintage

Gwen's belated birthday : Quite tired and heavy, oxidised rather than oxidative.

1990 vintage

Score! Vintage cuvée Deutz in Cathay lounge! Lovely pale to medium lemon in glass. Medium sized bubbles just floating up like snowflakes in reverse. Ripe nose and even riper palate. Lemon peel, ripe yellow apple, pastry, hay and honey. This wine is developing. Palate is dry, med + acidity, med alc, med body, med+ flavor intensity, med finish. This wine is good to very good with some complexity to it that will likely increase with time. Drink now or hold …

2009 vintage

From magnum. Quite effervescent compared to 750ml opened 2 months ago, notably less advanced while still intensely yellow. Tons of modestly firm red apple initially, moves to softer yellow notes after 30 minutes or so. No butterscotch, mushroom, or forest floor making it nicely satisfying with or without food, though perfect with cheesy (mozzarella and Parmesan) turkey tetrazzini. Removed from ice bucket after an hour to avoid muting.

1990 vintage

Totally agree with THEWIZ's note from 1/21/22, though not going as deep with my rating! Modestly/appropriately effervescent upon opening, needed 90 minutes to show at its best.

1990 vintage

From a magnum. Ripe and rich, with refreshing bead and structure. Pinot dominated. One of those wines you can share and simply enjoy without any serious reflecting, but one that offers complexity and a medley of flavors and textures to ponder. I like many of the wines from this house.

2009 vintage

Champagne & Chardonnay WIMPS, September 2022 (La Trompette, London) : Bright, richer, more oxidative end of the spectrum. A bit reticent initially and took a bit to come out of its shell. However, the wait was rewarded with rich summer fruits, nuts and brioche. Performed a lot better with the tart than the canapé preceding it.

2009 vintage

From a half. Toasty, vanilla, "sawdust" and salinity. Medium weight, persistent mousse. Lovely.

2009 vintage

I struggled on whether to click the I like it button on this one. I do in general - it’s aged champagne and that’s always a favorite for me. On the other hand for a 1990 champagne I was a bit underwhelmed. It’s totally fine, but a bit more basic and hasn’t gotten the complexity of expect. Was much better with food. Enjoyable for sure so I think this was maybe a reality minus expectations situation.

1990 vintage

(Disgorged in 2000, 55% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier and 35% Chardonnay) Lovely intense yellow colour with fine bubbles filling the glass. Mature nose showing mature red apples, mint chocolate and some butterscotch and acacia honey sweetness. Lovely evolved palate filled with butterscotch notes almost covering the refreshing red apples acidity and lovely creamy mid before the lime zesty bitterness takes over on the lengthy and very refreshing finish. In a perfect drinking window right now! (Best 2010-2030)

1990 vintage

Notes pretty much in line with the bottle from way back in 2010, which seemed old even then. Age is undeniable: lots of tertiary aromas and flavors of yellow apple, dried apple, sherry and grilled lemon. Bead is tired. Still, it was worth serving as an example of what a quality champagne becomes when it’s past its prime.

1990 vintage

Stunning, generous wine. Already showing remarkably well from a magnum. I’ve been enjoying this house a lot the last few years.

2009 vintage

This is my style of champagne. While I avoid opulent still wines, I love a luscious champagne. The combination of dense fruit, glycerine mouthfeel, acidity and bead is gratifying. This wine has generous creamy lemon and tangerine, as well as some nice tropical flavors. I’ve really been liking ever Deutz I’ve encountered lately.

2009 vintage

Last bottle of the lot I purchased from a private collection. This one has definitely gone into the tertiary flavors and wasn't the best example of the bottles that I had purchased. Striking flavors of morel mushroom poached apricots and a nice chalky solid quality made this a better pairing for cheese course after a meal.

1990 vintage

No detailed notes. Excellent though. Don't have these often, but like them every time.

2009 vintage

Dominated by toasty pinot noir flavors, but very soft and out of balance at present with unintegrated sugar. I give this a strong hold, it's just not interesting for me at the present time. I prefer this style of Champagne at a more mature phase of development, so YMMV if you like them young.

2009 vintage

As other tasters have suggested, this wine is astonishingly youthful and fresh despite the number of years this wine has been on the cork. The nose and palate experience are not at all oxidative, although there are subtle tertiary flavor notes that hint at the extensive bottle age. On the palate, I found lemon and green apple, fresh acidity and a wonderfully creamy mousse. This was the wine of the night in an impressive NYE lineup that included 1993 Dom …

1990 vintage

Åpen og fullmoden, men med masse ungdommelighet. Gul og moden frukt, en del oksidative aromaer av kamfer og nedfallsfrukt. Oser av ristede hasselnøtter og ibericoskinke. Nydelig sammenvevd med sjøaromaer og kalk. Kaffe kommer med luft. Intens og svær i munnen, men smidig og leken. Høy kons, fabelaktig mousse, høy friskhet. Salt og lang finish. Utrolig bra Champagne.

1990 vintage

So far this has been my favorite bottle of the lot I purchased. Apricot jam, peach preserve, autolysis, and sourdough biscuit. Great mouthfeel, super fine bead, and long finish. Superb.

1990 vintage

Wine in the Sunshine State; 2/20/2020-2/23/2020 (Florida) : Also quite enjoyable. More on the aged style. Pours darker and more of the carmelized and almost slightly oxidized notes. I enjoyed it.

1990 vintage

From Paris with Love, 2019 Edition; 11/15/2019-11/17/2019 (Paris (Le Voltaire, La Tour D'Argent & Epicure)) : By the glass at Epicure, Paris. Bright and energetic but also on the richer and evolved side, round and giving with lots of palate presence and nice finish. Great aperitif for those looking for a richer wine, 90-91

2009 vintage

(Disgorged in April 2018, 65% Pinot Noir, 5% Meunière and 30% Chardonnay, dosage 9 gr/l) Pale yellow colour with an intense stream of very fine bubbles in the glass. Already showing an incipient maturity on the nose with a touch of butterscotch at first and then opens up with more youthful notes of baked bread, flowers and a touch of lemonade in a very delicious way. Creamy palate filled with delicious lemon zest bitterness, tropical fruit and a long and …

2009 vintage

(Disgorged in June 2004, 55% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunière and 35% Chardonnay) Lovely yellow colour with a stream of very fine bubbles that lead way for the wonderfully maturing nose showing juniper wood and acacia honey sweetness at first and opens up in a very pleasant way showing sulphur, chalk and creaminess. No oxidative notes at all, just pure freshness.. Very nice and refreshing lemon acidity on the creamy palate with a touch of liquorice as well, before a very …

Sofa King Good. Ya better baleed that sheet!

1990 vintage

Truffle pop-up and good wine (Sabatino's Truffles on 54th Street) : Really quite tasty. This was still pretty fresh for a 90 champagne. Lots of nuttiness. Some caramel. That layered set of tastes that really makes a wine stand out. And interesting. Not really a standard taste profile, but one that feels more unique and special to this wine.

1990 vintage

1990 vintage

By the glass at Little Social, London. A bit warm, a bit flat, a bit flabby. Disappointing but more about the way it was served than anything else.

2009 vintage

Orange, marmalade colour and note on the palate. Plenty of glycerine/oyster shell. Typical 90 profile of richer fruit with a more bruised apple element. This was a mag so drink up if from regular bottles.

1990 vintage

From magnum. Lots of life still, great bubbles and mouthfeel, rich, toffee, Werthers candy, enough acid backbone to make this a real pleasure. Wish I had more The wine looks yellow brown colored.

1990 vintage

We got this from a very dear friend we left in Philadelphia who wanted to make our move to Texas just a bit less painful. And oh did it. Citrus and caramel. Whoa. Unbelievable. Chutzpah. Verve. Finesse. thedrunkencyclist.com

1990 vintage

From magnum, this Deutz is fresh and alive with a beautiful fine mousse with delicate bubbles and fully mature mushroom notes that end in a very long finish. Thoroughly satisfying but I would emphasize that magnums are always a very different experience. Drink up now and enjoy.

1990 vintage

Youthful nose showing minerals, flowers and acacia honey accompanied by an amenable palate with typical vintage soft acidity and a lighter and more easy going taste. Long and refined finish without so much intensity as some other vintages show. Still, it feels like it will be pleasing and available already and for another decade. Best 2019-2024.

2009 vintage

(Disgorged in fall of 2015) Very light yellow colour with a stream of fine and tiny bubbles that lead way to a wonderful nose showing hazelnuts, chalks, minerals and herbs in a very youthful style. Fruity palate showing youthful acidity and a creamy mousse that leads to the very long and bitter lemon peel finish. Wonderful expression. As so many other 2009's this cuvée is more of elegance than power on the palate with a well played orchestra of flavours …

2009 vintage

2 magnums drunk as an aperitif. Bright, gold colour. Moderate fizz remaining. Quite waxy/oily with strong notes of oyster shell. I prefer the 88s generally for the extra structure.

1990 vintage

Delikat og givende nese med innslag av bakst, toast, jordbær-sjokolade, aprikos og epler. Høy syre, stram struktur. Små delikate bobler. Ung i utrykket. Medium pluss intens. Medium lang utgang. Etter en times tid med luft vokser vinen og pådrar seg større fylde. Dette ga vinen et flott forhold mellom syre og kremet konsistens. Dufter av godt stekt brød ble mer fremtredende på nese.

1990 vintage

Scrumptious is a word that I would use for starters. Don't drink this cold. Drink with foie gras. Damn good!

1990 vintage

Back up mag after the first was badly corked. This was a pop and pour so initially quite a vibrant/aggressive mousse. Again a very youthful colour. Very similar to the 88 but slightly more giving.

1990 vintage

In terms of colour in between 1990 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de blancs and 1990 Dom Perignon. Expressive on the nose, a little oxidative with notes of bruised apples, nuts, dried fruit and an almost smoky character. Really vibrant and fresh on the palate, a bit more lively than the Taittinger, broad and rich, some chalky minerality. Amazing finish with great intensity and persistence - excellent. My WOTN. 93-95
