The showpiece or crown jewel, whatever you prefer, of Champagne Deutz. This Amour de Deutz is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and is therefore a Blanc de Blancs. The Chardonnay grapes come from the very best and oldest vines in the Côte des Blancs wine region. The old vineyards yield beautiful, full clusters, and when a vintage is considered excellent, this Amour de Deutz is produced. And by excellent, we mean truly phenomenal. Because those are the words that come to mind when you drink this Champagne. But a bottle of Amour de Deutz requires a great deal of work; it all starts in the old vineyards.
The old vineyard of Deutz
All grapes come from the vintage indicated on the bottle and are treated like angels. Each one is hand-harvested at ideal ripeness and transported in small crates to the press. Each vineyard is harvested and vinified separately, resulting in dozens of barrels of Chardonnay wine in the cellar. Blending follows, under the supervision of Deutz's Master Blender, a process that takes weeks. Every morning, the new blend is tasted until it is perfect. Then, the bottles are stored in the cellars for at least seven years, allowing them to gently and calmly create the bubbles. The hallmark of this Amour de Deutz is the perfection of aromas, flavors, and bubbles, all perfectly balanced. Many Champagne houses could learn a thing or two from this.
What does the Amour de Deutz Champagne taste like?
The name Amour de Deutz is derived from the statue of the Cherub that adorns the courtyard of the Deutz cellars. All the pride and passion of Deutz are reflected in this angel. Amour de Deutz's aroma offers a beautiful bouquet of impressions, including tangerines, citrus peel, freshly baked bread, white flowers, and so on. It's a joy to smell, and the Champagne ensures that you'll forget about anything else for a moment. The taste is also perfect: beautiful, light bubbles create a stimulating palate with nuances of citrus fruit, red apples, and a touch of apricot. Later, it also reveals notes of brioche bread, vanilla, and tangerines. The finish is long and ripe with abundant round flavors. What a joy to drink, and this Amour de Deutz makes every moment an unforgettable experience. A special bottle with your beloved drink? Deutz has a solution for that. The masulet, or metal cap, that sits on the cork is gold-colored and features the angel. This angel holds a small diamond. A cord is attached to the masulet so you can wear it as a necklace around your loved one (Amour).
