Medium-Bodied Prestige Cuvées Champagne Deutz, Cuvée William Deutz 2000:  Deutz is one of my favorite houses, and I especially love its prestige cuvées, Cuvée William Deutz and Cuvée William Deutz Rosé (one of the best rosé Champagnes made, in my opinion).  Deutz has become even better since Champagne Louis Roederer bought a majority interest in…
