vinous 2015
Rating: 91 –91
The 2015 Brut Millésimé William Deutz Meurtet is pretty tightly wound at this stage. It will be interesting to see what time brings here. Like so many 2015s, the Meurtet is marked by slight vegetal notes that are likely to become more pronounced over time. Because of that, I would prefer to drink it on the young side, even if the wine is not especially forthcoming. Dried pear, brioche, sage and mint linger. Texturally, the 2015 is a very pretty wine. Only the slightly clenched finish and that vegetal quality give me reason to pause.
