Tasting notes
The 2012 La Côte Glacière Brut is a pure Pinot Noir from Aÿ and opens with a beautifully fine yet intense and aromatic cherry bouquet intermixed with yeasty notes. The palate is intensely fruity but fresh, refined and structured, finishing with enormous power and length. This is an impressive wine with super intense Pinot fruit. Tasted from lot LG 116D20018.

From a single, Deutz-owned vineyard in Aÿ. Full, soft and delicate. Creamy rather than frothy. Like a gentle brush with a feather on the cheek. So unlike a stereotypical grower's champagne – not remotely austere. (JR)
Slightly more opulent on the nose than the other new single-vineyard 2012 from Deutz. Lots of strawberries and cooked pears with biscuit undertones. Full-bodied, very deep and flavorful with lots of beautiful fruit and a long, long finish. Fantastic. Drink now.
