The Paris Experiment

William Deutz Champagne, La Côte Glacière, Brut 2012

Aperitif Hour

9 Aug

As we say in the Fizz club – This bottle is sexy as Fizz! This is the most EXCLUSIVE bottle we have probably ever featured in the champagne club!
This happens to be the very bottle that the Deutz Maison is celebrating 150 years in business! This is the anniversary champagne! I was able to get it for our club members. This champagne was VERY LIMITED and it serves to honor the founder William Deutz. How cool is this?! This is 100% Pinot Noir and these grapes are coming from the exclusive parcel in Aÿ, all one vineyard, one plot! 

I finally popped it open tonight – really because its the finale night for the Bachelorette! I love popping champagne always… but especially on show finales.

This is a delicious champagne for summer.

Coming to you from the Deutz Champagne House the Côte Glacière and of course the powerhouse vintage being 2012.

About this Champagne! 
This champagne in all its glory created by Chef de Cave, Michel Davesne brings out the elegance, refined notes that are completely harmonious. This cuvée is well structured with great personality.

Tasting Notes ~The nose is very expressive and reflects the south-facing slope on which the grapes grow. The floral and ripe fruit aromas are warm and immediate. This plot was harvested at perfect maturity. This terroir wine is already opulent and, in its contained energy, I find the primary aromas of lilac blossom, pears and peaches… and the glimmering promise of the exotic, honeyed notes to come.

The palate already shows a seductive generosity, yet retains the clean lines of the wines from the slope underpinned by the minerality derived from the chalky subsoil. It shows nobility. The balance between purity and complexity gives us the impression of great harmony and refinement.

The finish is equally promising and suggests to the fine champagne lover that this is a wine for long cellar-ageing.

I paired this with a very FRENCH Hors d’oeuvre

Sliced radishes with salted butter. It’s refreshing and perfect for summer.

Santé everyone!

I wrote this manuscript sitting in cafés in Paris (well and many mornings in my apartment candles burning at 6 am) and my hope is that it transports you there no matter where you are in this 🌎 

I took great pleasure in writing this, and have attempted to make it full of entertainment (real life in Paris) and hope you will find that you want to turn the page to see what happens next … highs and lows - it’s all in there. Intensity, passionate, thrilling. 
(plus very cool graphics throughout)

Let’s pull back the curtain shall we?! 

Sequel in the works 🇫🇷📚💛

A flute or a coupe 🥂🖤

Last week I had the pleasure of a quintessential impressive French meal shared with the lovely Director of Maison Belle Époque Hèléne Caluch 
The food was exquisite and the perfect pairing for a vertical tasting of Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs 2012,  Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Brut 2013, and Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosè 2012
 
The art and floral elements brought an undesirable beauty to this Maison that was captivating. Selecting my own champagne glass from the historic vintage collection of the House for “Aperitif Hour” well … 💕🥂

A huge Merci 🇫🇷
