The 1995 vintage in Champagne was generally considered good, offering a welcome relief after a series of challenging years in the early 1990s. Despite some frost damage in spring and mildew issues due to warm, wet summer weather, rigorous vineyard work and selection during harvest led to excellent results, particularly for Chardonnay. The harvest, which began in mid-September, yielded grapes with a fine balance of sugar and acidity. This vintage is noted for its elegance, inviting fruitiness, beautiful balance, and slow-building finesse. The Cuvée William Deutz 1995 is a testament to this, with critics praising its balance of ripeness, elegant acidity, and purity. It offers flavours of quince, yellow peach, and myriad citrus. Some bottles may show notes of ripe, golden orchard fruits, quince, apricot, candied peel, layered with roasted nuts, toast, and gentle spice, though some might be approaching or just past their peak, occasionally lacking a touch of tension. 【 A discreetly satisfying vintage, allowed to mature with grace and dignity 】 **Food Pairing:** This exquisite Champagne pairs wonderfully with a range of sophisticated dishes.
