It lies a few dozen metres from La Côte Glacière. The Hommage à William Deutz cuvées are only produced in the greatest years, in limited quantities. In 2018, a long, hot summer produced a generous year, and the plot was harvested from 3 to 5 September. The wine went through malolactic fermentation and receives a dosage of 5.6 g\/L, chosen after blind trials. The magnum holds 1.5 litres, or two bottles. Because the volume of air under the cork is proportionally smaller, the wine evolves more slowly and gains finesse over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Champagne, Aÿ, Meurtet lieu-dit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Deutz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.6 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl (magnum, 1.5 L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale, clear gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apricot, lemongrass and wild strawberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silky and textured, peach, white flowers and exotic notes as it opens, saline finish with noble bitterness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 10 to 11 °C in a large white wine glass.
