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. 2012 had a difficult spring, with frost, hail and sharply reduced yields, followed by an ideal August: a late harvest gave healthy, ripe and well-balanced Pinots. The wine aged for five years on the lees and receives a dosage of 9 g\/L. The jeroboam holds 3 litres, or four bottles. The share of air under the cork is small relative to the volume of wine: the champagne ages slowly and keeps its freshness for a long 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 9 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years on the lees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 cl (jeroboam, 3 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 gold with brilliant highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expressive, lilac blossom, pear, peach and touches of honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous, pure acidity and lovely tension, long and harmonious finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChill it overnight in the fridge or for at least an hour in a large bucket of iced water, to reach 10 °C.
