Deutz champagne dinner - worth it?
Will be near one of my favorite restaurants (which has seen fit to raise its menu prices noticeably within the past couple of months) in a SW corner of France and it will be featuring a dinner with various champagnes hosted by the president of Champagne Deutz.
Wondering whether it is really worth € 148 a head for 5 courses/champagne pairings + various canapes given the 5 savoury/cheese/dessert dégustation menu is €111 or €168 with paired wines? Probably a few premium ingredients jacking up prices. Menu is: Quelques amuses bouches : Huître, campari et pamplemousse & King crabe, avocat et agrume Carpaccio de langoustine, blanc-manger au citron vert, julienne d’oseille Deutz brut classic *** Pressé de caille et canard fermiers, fines salades aux copeaux de foie gras Deutz brut rosé millésimé 2009 *** Filet de bar de nos côtes rôti, velouté et caviar d’Aquitaine Cuvée Amour de Deutz 2005 *** Morceau choisi de bœuf Wagyu de Burgos, couqueline de pomme de terre, foie gras et truffe Cuvée William Deutz vintage 1988 *** Le carrément clémentine et son sorbet, sphère mascarpone Deutz demi-sec millésimé |
Yes, I do like it. It is served in the best hotel bars. GV.
|
Deutz is our favourite champagne ... and even stumped up for it for my daughters wedding.
That menu is extraordinary value and I so wish we could join you. Don't hesitate. :) |
I'm not a fan of the Deutz NV, but it does age rather remarkably. Would love to try the 1998 - their 2001 (?) is lovely.
|
That's just over $200 for what sounds like a fabulous event. I'd say go for it.
|
Deutz is our go-to NYE champagne. That menu looks awesome and seems like almost a steal....
|
I would be all over this......
Sadly, the airfare from EZE does put it somewhat into perspective.... :( I assume this thread has input from wine aficionados... so I would ask... how are you seeing availability of the top Argentine Wines in your area...? Mauro Colagreco, the 2 star Michelin Chef is from Argentina and has been doing a lot of work as the Brand Ambassaor for Rutini, one of the top Argentine Bodegas. For those that don't know, Colagreco's restaurant is Mirazur, located in Menton, France. |
Sadly, the dinner doesn't fit into our schedule (have to start heading east) so we'll settle for lunch Tuesday.
Logistics of getting home from there were also a big daunting and would start adding up.

Favorite sparkling wine and champagne?
Didn't see a thread like this after a quick search so figured I'd start one.
Champagne: - Veuve - Perrier Jouet - Nicolas Feuillatte Sparkling wine: - Freixenet |
I also like Ruinart a lot, but it's also the only cave in Champagne I got to visit, and it holds sentimental value.
Agree on Nicolas Feuillatte - one of my favorites. In general, I tend to be a fan of cava as well. Any cava. |
Favorite sparkling wine and champagne?
Delamotte. Salon when I can afford it. Taittinger.
Brachetto. |
Deutz
|
US sparkling wine: Gruet, from New Mexico. Made by a family with long experience in the Champagne region.
Actual champagne: Dom Perignon (duh) or Cristal; I'd really rather drink Gruet or a good California sparkling wine (Gloria Ferrer, Chandon, Mumm Napa, Roederer estate) than lesser true Champagnes. |
Never buy them however if offered I'll drink anything.
