The 2004 Brut Blanc de Blancs is a beautiful wine that captures the essence of the year. Lemon, mint, jasmine and crushed rocks are some of the nuances that inform the bright finish. The 2004 is a blend of fruit from Avize (45%), Le Mesnil (35%), Villers Marmery (10%) and Oger, Cramant and Chouilly for the remaining 10%. This is Lot LA108D02510. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.

Pale gold. High-pitched, mineral-driven aromas of candied lime, lemongrass, chamomile and chalky minerals, plus a suggestion of green tea. Bright, incisive and impressively pure, offering silky citrus and floral flavors underscored by dusty minerality and a touch of bitter pear skin. This is a baby but shows excellent potential, with strong finishing thrust and creamy persistence. I'd keep my hands off this for at least a few years. 92(+?)

The ethereal style that is the Deutz hallmark is shown to great effect in this apple-fresh Blanc de Blancs. There is a wonderful series of the crispest flavors allied to citrus and a tight texture.

Firm and juicy, with a creamy mineral undercurrent to the flavors of yellow pear, light pastry, candied lemon zest, apricot and spice set on refined texture. Well-focused, with a lovely finish that echoes the fruit character. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 170 cases imported. -AN
