The 2016 vintage is a testament to their expertise, capturing the character of the year with remarkable balance and sophistication.. TASTING NOTESDeutz 2016 Brut Champagne presents an exquisite aromatic bouquet of white flowers, fresh citrus, and ripe orchard fruits, with underlying notes of toasted brioche and hazelnuts. On the palate, it delivers a refined mousse, vibrant acidity, and a beautifully structured minerality. Layers of golden apple, pear, and citrus zest unfold, leading to subtle hints of almond and vanilla. The finish is long, crisp, and elegantly persistent, making this a champagne of outstanding poise and harmony.. FOOD PAIRINGThis vintage champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as poached lobster, seared scallops, or creamy truffle risotto. Its crisp acidity and mineral structure also make it an excellent companion to sushi, oysters, or delicate poultry dishes like roast quail with a citrus glaze. For an indulgent pairing, try it with aged Comté or a selection of artisanal French cheeses.
