Deutz's Meurtet vineyard of Pinot Noir in the grand cru of Aÿ shows a beautifully restrained, gliding quality of fruit in solar 2018, with aromas of ultra-ripe strawberry, blackberry and Comice pear. Caramelised, buttery apple tart richness lurks, and there's an appealing succulence to the palate, but the wine avoids spilling over into too much easy ripeness, as the year sometimes does. In fact the finish is dotted with ultra-fine orange peel and sage bitterness. Clearly a wine worthy of a single-vineyard focus, it's one of the house's top recent releases.
