Magnificent, refined, supple... we could think of so many words to describe this beautiful rosé Champagne from Deutz. The house is still family-owned, and therefore the Deutz name remains highly regarded. The family simply wants to make the finest Champagne, and that's something the French appreciate. This Champagne Deutz Rosé is the most beloved in the country and is served in the finest Michelin-starred restaurants. Of course, this doesn't happen by itself; hard work goes into the vineyards where it all begins. Some of the vineyards lie directly above the cellars, a truly special experience should you ever find yourself in the cellars. This rosé is made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, all grown in-house.
The old vineyard of Champagne Deutz
Growing the grapes for this rosé is a precise job, but thanks to extensive knowledge and craftsmanship, the Deutz family manages to reap a fantastic harvest every year. Each bunch is hand-picked and meticulously inspected, as Mr. Deutz wants only the finest grapes in his bottles. The bunches are transported in small crates to the press, where each grape variety is vinified separately. Afterward, the blend is created, a process that takes weeks. Every morning at 11:00 a.m., the entire team tastes the new blend until the best result is achieved. This is followed by a very long period of bottle aging. This rosé matures for four to five years in the Champagne Deutz cellars before it is ready to drink. Thanks to the long cellar aging, this rosé has a very soft mousse (bubbles) and a rich character.
The smell and taste of Champagne Deutz Rosé
A beautiful glass of rosé Champagne, the color is truly a feast for the eyes. The lovely light pink color with an orange shimmer indicates this is a top-notch wine. On the nose, this Deutz Rosé boasts aromas of cherries, blackberries, pomegranates, and red currants. There's also a hint of earthy, freshly baked bread and lavender. The palate is equally captivating, as it's truly magnificent: an unprecedentedly soft mousse and ripe notes of red fruit. Complemented by a touch of toast, jam, and brioche. In short, a glass of rosé Champagne you'll never forget! The distinctive style and color are achieved by adding 9% still red wine from old vines near Ay and from another vineyard called 'Meurtet'.
