It blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier in similar proportions, from the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne. Reserve wines from selected vintages, including Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, ensure a consistent style. The wine ages for around three years in the cellar before disgorgement. The methuselah holds 6 litres, or eight bottles. The share of air under the cork is minimal relative to the volume of wine: the champagne evolves very slowly and keeps its freshness. An exceptional bottle for grand receptions.\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, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne\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 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier in similar proportions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brut, around 9 g\/L according to the technical sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e around 3 years in the cellar, reserve wines from selected vintages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 cl (methuselah, 6 L), in a wooden case\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 Deep gold, fine bubbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hawthorn and white flowers, then toast, almond paste and ripe fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshness from the Chardonnay and richness from the Pinot, silky texture, fruity, persistent and harmonious finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch a volume calls for planning: leave it overnight in a very cool room, then several hours in a large tub of iced water to reach 8 °C.
