Maison Deutz Blanc De Noirs 1982

[tomstevenson]

I must be losing my marbles if this is correct because I do not know of any Deutz Blanc de Noirs. Deutz Blanc de Blancs, of course, but Blanc de Noirs... Deutz Vintage Rose and Cuvee William Deutz Rose are both 100% Pinot Noir, thus technically blancs de noirs, but Deutz does not describe them as that. I've also had various experimental bottlings including a pure Pinot Noir from Ay, but that was almost a quarter of a century ago. Please give more information from the label and I'll do my best to sort out what it is for you. As to the sort of person who would buy Deutz, any Deutz, I would say someone who has a certain amount of taste and knowledge, otherwise they would have purchased something with a more famous name, but less quality or interest. After just three years in dark and cool conditions, you should have no worries as to the condition of this wine, although I need to know the vintage to advise on when best to drink.
