Classique chic<br />

“Sitôt franchi le seuil <strong>de</strong> la maison Deutz, un Amour sculpté vous<br />

susurre à l'oreille qu'ici rien n'a jamais changé <strong>de</strong>puis Napoléon III.<br />

Tout y est parfait, <strong>de</strong> la mosaïque bleue <strong>de</strong>s sols du hall aux tentures<br />

sanguine du salon Empire. On dit que les lieux inspirent ceux qui y<br />

travaillent. Fabrice Rosset, arrivé en 1996 à la tête <strong>de</strong> l'honorable<br />

maison d'Aÿ, en est persuadé : «II y a chez Deutz un esprit <strong>de</strong>s lieux,<br />

qui gui<strong>de</strong> notre démarche faite <strong>de</strong> discrétion dans l'action et <strong>de</strong><br />

délicatesse dans les vins.» Référence <strong>de</strong> connaisseurs. Deutz produit<br />

<strong>de</strong>s vins à dominante pinot noir d'un classicisme sans lour<strong>de</strong>ur et d'une<br />

précision jamais prise en défaut. Son Brut Classic figure parmi les<br />

meilleurs champagnes non millésimés. Quant à la très crayeuse cuvée<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz - déclinée également en rosé -, elle inscrit le<br />

chardonnay au sommet <strong>de</strong> son art...”<br />

“Classic chic As soon as you enter the house of Deutz, a sculpted<br />

cupid whispers in your ear that nothing has changed here since<br />

Napoleon III. Everything is perfect, from the blue mosaic floor in the<br />

entrance hall to the blood-red wall coverings in the Empire lounge.<br />

They say people are inspired by the places they work in. Fabrice<br />

Rosset, head of the house in Aÿ since 1996, is convinced: "At Deutz the<br />

place has a spirit that gui<strong>de</strong>s our approach to winemakmg, one based<br />

on discrétion and élégance.“ An iconic brand among connoisseurs,<br />

Deutz produces wines dominated by Pinot Noir that are classical<br />

without being heavy and invariably well ma<strong>de</strong>. Its Brut Classic is<br />

among the best nonvintage champagnes. As for the very chalky Amour<br />

<strong>de</strong> Deutz — also available as a rosé—it is a fine expression of<br />

Chardonnay.”<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2007<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2008<br />

95 95<br />

Crisp red fruit dominates this beautifully crafted wine.<br />

Poised and stylish, it exu<strong>de</strong>s sophistication with its<br />

bright red currant fruit and <strong>de</strong>licious acidity. A lively<br />

mousse enhances its crisp texture and fine aftertaste.<br />

Drink from 2018.<br />

This wine is rich and surprisingly full-bodied. It comes<br />

from a great Champagne vintage, giving it both<br />

intensity and an acidity built for longterm aging. This<br />

half-bottle version is filling out, showing almond<br />

flavors yet retaining its citrus edge. Drink from 2019.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2006<br />

95 With its beautiful rose color and <strong>de</strong>licate flavors, this<br />

continues the elegant tradition of Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz. It's<br />

one of the Champagne house's three prestige cuvées<br />

and the most refined. This crisp wine, with its soft<br />

acidity, ripe strawberry fruits and tang of citrus is ready<br />

to drink, although it will age in bottle for many years.<br />

94<br />

94<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2008<br />

The half-bottle format has sped up the maturing of this<br />

wine. It ri<strong>de</strong>s a fine line between crisp red fruit and<br />

fuller, toastier character. With great acidity, layers of<br />

zingy citrus and a soft texture, it's <strong>de</strong>licate and ready to<br />

drink.<br />

William Deutz 2008<br />

A high proportion of Pinot Noir gives this Deutz prestige<br />

cuvée richness as well as a strong green fruit character.<br />

Citrus, green apples and intense acidity un<strong>de</strong>rpin this<br />

finely un<strong>de</strong>rstated wine. Drink from 2018.<br />

William Deutz 2006<br />

The second of two prestige cuvées from Deutz, this<br />

shows its high proportion of Pinot Noir with its fullbodied<br />

nature. Already mature, it has broa<strong>de</strong>ned into a<br />

richly complex, toasty, spicy wine. With full-throttle<br />

acidity that gives it a taut edge, it's impressive and<br />

ready to drink.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2006<br />

Still very crisp and fruity with only a hint of maturity,<br />

this is a bright, apple- and citrus- driven wine. Light and<br />

stylish, it gets its generous minerality from the<br />

Chardonnay in the blend. While it's great now, it will be<br />

even better from 2018.<br />

Deutz Brut Millésimé 2010<br />

This wine, though still young, reveals much about the<br />

Deutz style as well as the vintage. It strikes a balance<br />

between softness and crispness that fits the ethos of<br />

the house. At the same time, it's an attractive mediumterm<br />

bottling, in line with what many producers<br />

achieved in 2010. It should be kept until 2019.<br />

95<br />

94<br />

94<br />

93<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2007<br />

This wine, now mature, shows a fine toast and yeast<br />

character. That still leaves room for crisp apple fruit and<br />

bright acidity, exuding a stylish elegance. It's poised<br />

with <strong>de</strong>licious balance. Drink now.<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé 2012<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé 2010<br />

92 This most recent release of vintage rosé from Deutz This pale rosé is showing its maturity at seven years of 92<br />

boasts fine acidity and crisp young fruit, marking it as a<br />

wine to age. Bright and lively with a sophisticated edge<br />

of acidity and red currant fruit, it should be cellared until<br />

2019.<br />

Deutz Blanc <strong>de</strong> Blancs 2010<br />

This wine is still young, reveling in its bright fruit and<br />

mineral texture. Drawn from Côte <strong>de</strong>s Blancs vineyards,<br />

it's tight, tense and loa<strong>de</strong>d with citrus fruit. With its<br />

finely crisp aftertaste, it's <strong>de</strong>licious now for its fruit but<br />

will also be great from 2020, once its toasty character<br />

<strong>de</strong>velops more fully.<br />

age, its fruitiness transforming into extra richness,<br />

with touches of toast. It's a very fine wine, ripe and<br />

ready to drink.<br />

93<br />

Deutz Brut Classic<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé<br />

90 89<br />

This nonvintage classic is on point with its soft, ripe This fine, perfumed wine is soft and stylish—a<br />

style. It has just enough maturity to fill out the fruit,<br />

with hints of almond and toast. On the palate, attractive<br />

bright citrus and green apple flavors dominate.<br />

hallmark of the nonvintage Champagnes from this<br />

producer. It has plenty of red berry flavors and<br />

balanced acidity. Drink now.<br />

Deutz Vinothèque e la rivincita <strong>de</strong>l Millésime<br />

Scritto da: Alberto Lupetti 27 marzo, <strong>2017</strong><br />

Le Mie Bollicine (Website)<br />

March <strong>2017</strong><br />

(P1/2)<br />

ITALY<br />

A dare ulteriore lustro alle varie maison <strong>de</strong> champagne<br />

negli ultimi anni hanno certamente contribuito le vecchie<br />

annate. Spesso e volentieri bottiglie di dégorgement<br />

recente, sono state proposte ovviamente in quantità<br />

estremamente limitata e prezzo non trascurabile, ma<br />

hanno rappresentato <strong>de</strong>gli autentici pezzi d’opera che<br />

hanno <strong>de</strong>finitivamente fatto capire perché lo champagne<br />

sia amico <strong>de</strong>l tempo.<br />

Tra gli ultimi produttori ad accodarsi a questa ‘felice iniziativa’ dobbiamo annoverare Deutz, che,<br />

invero in sordina, lo scorso anno ha lanciato la sua linea Vinothèque.<br />

Fabrice Rosset, messo alla guida di Deutz dalla famiglia<br />

Rouzaud, ha compiuto un mezzo miracolo, rilanciando la<br />

maison in qualità e quantità. Ma ha anche intrdotto nuove<br />

cuvée e, infine, creato la ‘Vinothèque’, intesa sia come<br />

zona <strong>de</strong>lle cantine, sia come linea di vecchie annate.<br />

Quando Fabrice Rosset, a seguito <strong>de</strong>ll’acquisizione di Deutz da parte <strong>de</strong>lla famiglia Rouzaud<br />

(Louis Roe<strong>de</strong>rer) ha avuto la guida <strong>de</strong>lla maison di Aÿ, è rimasto sorpreso che non ci fosse la<br />

vinothèque, così, come priorità, ha iniziato subito a costruire la riserva <strong>de</strong>i millesimati, partendo<br />

dall’annata 1993. Da quel momento, ogni anno sono state messe via nelle vinothèque tra le<br />

8.000 e le 10.000 bottiglie di millesimati e cuvée <strong>de</strong> prestige! Cosa che continua puntualmente<br />

con ogni nuovo millesimato di Deutz. Contestualmente, M. Rosset ha anche scoperto diverse<br />

bottiglie e magnum di vecchie annate in varie parti <strong>de</strong>lla cantina, alcune già <strong>de</strong>gorgiate, altre<br />

ancora sui lieviti; allora, pian piano ha iniziato a raggruppare questi champagne, verificarne lo<br />

stato, catalogarli, alcuni <strong>de</strong>gorgiarli via via in modo da apprezzarne lo stadio di maturazione e<br />

individuarne così la ‘finestra’ ottimale di espressività. Arriviamo così al 2016, quando<br />

un’apposita zona <strong>de</strong>lla cantina, dopo essere stata appositamente allestita, è diventata la<br />

vinothèque di Deutz, forte di oltre 250.000 bottiglie.<br />

Eccola, appena ultimata, la vinothèque nelle cantine di<br />

Deutz, che oggi conta più di 250.000 bottiglie (e<br />

magnum…).<br />

Sempre lo scorso anno, il catalogo Deutz si è arricchito di<br />

alcune di queste preziose bottiglie e magnum, proposte<br />

singolarmente in cassetta di legno e caratterizzate da un<br />

habillage sviluppato per l’occasione, molto semplice, ma<br />

certamente efficace.<br />

Ecco la linea Vinothèque di Deutz, disponibile su richiesta tramite i vari importatori nazionali a<br />

prezzi veramente competitivi per ‘tesori’ <strong>de</strong>l genere. Inizierei raccontando un pezzo forte di<br />

questa prestigiosa linea, sia perché porta alla ribalta un’annata semplicemente eccezionale (la<br />

1988), sia perché è nel formato ‘migliore’, il magnum. Altro punto di sicuro interesse è che non<br />

si tratta <strong>de</strong>lla Cuvée William Deutz (all’epoca l’Amour non esisteva…), bensì <strong>de</strong>l classico<br />

Millésime. Fu prodotto con uve da Mareuil, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois, Verzenay e,<br />

naturalmente, Aÿ per il Pinot Noir, Avize, Le-Mesnil, Chouilly e Villers-Marmery (Montagne) per<br />

lo Chardonnay e Pierry per il Meunier. Questo Brut Vintage 1988 (come si chiamava all’epoca) è<br />

stato tirato nella tarda primavera <strong>de</strong>l 1989 ed è rimasto a maturare in sui lieviti, questa versione<br />

‘Vinothèque’, fino a maggio <strong>de</strong>l 2004, quando è stato <strong>de</strong>gorgiato e dosato a 7 g/l.<br />

Casetta di legno molto semplice e habillage addirittura<br />

essenziale per i Vinothèque Deutz proposti sul mercato. In<br />

quantità limitata, ovviamente, ma prezzo molto interessante.<br />

60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Meunier<br />

(magnum) – Va bene il formato, va bene la grandissima annata, ma questo champagne<br />

è una vera sorpresa. Forse anche perché, solitamente, il Millésime è lo champagne<br />

meno incisivo <strong>de</strong>lla gamma Deutz, almeno da giovane. Invece… Invece ecco un naso<br />

freschissimo, cristallino nei profumi, piacevolmente e intensamente tostato, giocato<br />

su nette note di torrefazione, un frutto che spazia dalla pesca al melone e arriva fino al<br />

tropicale, una sottile florealità e, a ricordarci l’età, un tocco di fascinosa maturità<br />

rappresentato da spunti di frutta secca e miele. Il tutto integro e integrato, per non<br />

dire armonico. Ma è la bocca la vera sorpresa: ricca e scattante, tesa, vibrante, ancora<br />

più fresca di quanto ci si possa aspettare, succosa, cristallina, finissima nella bollicina,<br />

ricca nei ritorni fruttati, di profondo sviluppo minerale e finale sapido di notevole<br />

persistenza. Una vera sorpresa. O forse no?<br />

Deutz is still setting a cracking pace. The main press<br />

house in Aÿ was razed in 2010 and two new layers of<br />

cellars dug un<strong>de</strong>rneath. A completely new press house<br />

was erected just in time for vintage 2011, with new<br />

four-and-eight-tonne presses, a new bottling line and<br />

increased cellar capacity from 8 million to 11,5 million<br />

bottles, and Deutz is now bottling its annual<br />

production target of 2,5 million bottles and it has<br />

secured the grape supply to sustain it.<br />

Owned by Louis Roe<strong>de</strong>rer, the house lays claims to just<br />

42 of the total 200 hectares from which it sources fruit,<br />

all in grand and premier cru villages in the Marne,<br />

Chardonnay and pinot noir are the focus for Deutz,<br />

with meunier comprising just 5% of its fruit. Most of<br />

the supply increase in recent years has come from<br />

purchased fruit. « We are looking for vineyards to buy,<br />

but the availability of good vineyards is not high »<br />

explains presi<strong>de</strong>nt Fabrice Rosset, the powerhouse<br />

behing Deutz for almost 20 years. To reward quality<br />

growers are paid based not only on the standard of<br />

their terroir, but the quality of grapes <strong>de</strong>livered.<br />

Growers are hearing of Deutz’s reputation and calling<br />

the company to offer their grapes. « This is the highest<br />

compliment we could be paid ! » exclaims Rosset.<br />

Can the house continue to maintain quality while<br />

following such a steep trajectory of growth ? « It is<br />

crucial that we maintain the same quality of supplies »<br />

chef <strong>de</strong> cave Michel Davesne emphasizes. The<br />

intention is to maintain the same suppliers, continuing<br />

to source from within 35 kilometres of Aÿ and using<br />

only the first pressings. He is confi<strong>de</strong>nt the investments<br />

in the new winery and cellars will only aid the pursuit<br />

of quality.<br />

Assuming the house can maintain reliable supply<br />

channels, Deutz will be well equipped to continue to<br />

achieve its target. Recently mo<strong>de</strong>rnised<br />

disgorgement and warehousing facilities are already<br />

in operation, and 8 million bottles wait in<br />

anticipation in three kilometres of cellars extending<br />

into the hill, up to 65 metres <strong>de</strong>ep beneath the<br />

vineyard behind Aÿ.<br />

With sustainable agriculture a priority, Deutz is<br />

trialling organics and even biodynamics in the plot<br />

immediately above the winery. Chemical pestici<strong>de</strong>s<br />

have been abandoned, and grasses cultivated in the<br />

mid-rows of some plots to avoid the use of herbicids<br />

and reduce yields to slightly below the average.<br />

Even in its young vins clairs, the clean, crisp, fresh,<br />

pristine focus of the house is abundantly clear.<br />

Deutz preserves the purity of its fruit through<br />

fermentation plot by plot in 350 stainless steel tanks<br />

(no barrels), temperature controlled to 16-17°C.<br />

Malolactic fermentation is encouraged<br />

systematically. Non-vintage rested in the cellar for a<br />

further six months post-disgorgement. Dosages of<br />

around 9g/L are well balanced to the graceful style<br />

of the house.<br />

« The key to Deutz is elegance . » expounds Rosset,<br />

« The Deutz style is ma<strong>de</strong> on refinement and<br />

harmony – this is the quintessence of champagne. »<br />

Then he checks himself and grins warmly « I am<br />

exagerating ! »<br />

But he’s right. In its classic, eloquently labelled<br />

bottles, Deutz has upheld its air of consistently<br />

refreshing pure lemon sunshine.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz rosé 2006<br />

A new king has ascen<strong>de</strong>d in the great kingdom of Deutz rosé, a brand new release, replacing William Deutz Rosé with an<br />

intentionally more elegant style and inadvertently offering a profound insight into the motivation of this house and its<br />

presi<strong>de</strong>nt. A few weeks before I visited in late 2014, Fabrice Rosset ma<strong>de</strong> the tough and costly <strong>de</strong>cision never to release the<br />

entire 14,768 bottle production of amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz rosé 2005. He poured me an exclusive tasting of that never-to-be-released<br />

cuvée (94 points). Goodness, many reputable houses would release (and have) lesser prestige cuvées. I have long<br />

respected Deutz, and at that moment it won an all-new respect.<br />

It takes all the wizardry and resources of Deutz to create a new rosé of such thrilling, towering magnificence. It is at once<br />

ethereal in its elegance, precise in its <strong>de</strong>finition and fairy light on its feet, yet there is grand presence and <strong>de</strong>pth of fruit power<br />

driving it long and full breathtakingly graceful elegance elevates it to another spiritual plane. Exquisite purity of red cherries,<br />

wild strawberries, rose hip, pink pepper and pomegranate <strong>de</strong>fine an impeccably crafted shape of exuberant yet immaculate<br />

refinement, and mesmerizing persistence. A triumph, and an instant addition to Champagne's top rosé tier - and who else<br />

can claim that with a new cuvée ?<br />

William Deutz 2002<br />

97<br />

96<br />

There is both a <strong>de</strong>pth and a breadth to 2002, encapsulated in an incredible display of the freshness of Deutz, amplified by the intensity if<br />

pinot noir, elevated and energized by ultra-fine, chalk-rich minerality and set resolutely in a mature mould. This is a wine of contrasts and<br />

contradictions, but, profoundly, it maintains seamless persistence and breathtaking lightness. Youthful endurance is <strong>de</strong>clared in vibrant<br />

lemon zest and young summer-fruit freshness, while the grand maturity of a dozen years in the cellar is articulated quietly in a <strong>de</strong>pth of<br />

brioche, gingernut biscuits, vanilla nougat, toast and honey. Prominent, silky chalk structure is the highlight of a mesmerizing finish. It's<br />

ready to drink now, and anytime in the next <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>.<br />

Deutz Brut Millésimé 2008<br />

Only in the great 2008 vintage can supermo<strong>de</strong>l curves, ballerina daintiness, gymnastic muscle and Olympian energy all<br />

coexist in one <strong>de</strong>sperately precise body. Fairy-footed grace of rose petal and lemon blossom fragrance find a breathtaking<br />

tension with exceptional fruit <strong>de</strong>pth, epic persistence and breathtakingly chalk-fine, frothing salt minerality. Another thrilling<br />

performance from the most enduring vintage since 1996.<br />

Deutz Blanc <strong>de</strong> Blancs 2008<br />

96<br />

The sublime 2008 season plays precisely to Deutz's brief of precision and minrality. Embed<strong>de</strong>d <strong>de</strong>eply in the two most confi<strong>de</strong>nt<br />

chardonnay grand crus, this is a cuvée that encapsulates the ultra-elegance and coiled-up power and intensity that <strong>de</strong>fine this vintage. Its<br />

chalk minerality is breathtaking, surging and frothing with the seaspray of its terroirs. Freshness shines as pure and stark as high-noon<br />

daylight in lemon, crunchy pear and yellow mirabelle plum, with all the accumulated knowledge of seven years of age proclaimed in fresh<br />

almonds, brioche and nougat. It's at once energetic and tense, yet intricately balanced and gentle, concluding in a crescendo of<br />

astonishing persistence. Ready to go now, it will <strong>de</strong>epen with unrelenting resolve for <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s.<br />

96<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé Millésimé 2009<br />

I was completely besotted when Deutz's ultra-sensual 2008 Rosé walked onto the scene, and I never expected to fall for the<br />

2009 in quite the same way but, gosh it's silky, long-legged and downright gorgeous. This is grace in a salmon-crimson silk<br />

ballgown; a ravishing celebration of pinot noir in all its red cherry and strawberry succulence, trailing a smooth acid train and<br />

friendly chalk mineral texture. There's a seamlessness to this vintage that beckons you to dance all night, albeit without the<br />

fast moves and stiletto tension of 2008;<br />

95<br />

Deutz Brut Millésimé 2007<br />

A very impressive vintage, with a pinot noir lead reflected in a full straw hue and magnificent <strong>de</strong>pth of enticing yellow mirabelle plums<br />

and rich figs. Its maturity is <strong>de</strong>clared in a panoply of burnt butter, toast, honey, brioche, butterscotch and mixed spice, drawn out<br />

effortlessly by lively acidity, a creamy bead and fine chalk mineral structure.<br />

Deutz Blanc <strong>de</strong> Blancs 2007<br />

One of the first and most memorable 2007s that I ever tasted, from the day of its release this has been a wine of <strong>de</strong>licacy juxtaposed with<br />

power. Two years on, its focus and tension are unwavering, sustained by excellent, fine chalk mineral <strong>de</strong>finition. Notes of struck-flint<br />

reduction waft over a precise palate of white pepper, crisp pear, crunchy gol<strong>de</strong>n <strong>de</strong>licious apple and subtle; simmering mixed spice.<br />

94<br />

Deutz Brut Classic<br />

Brut Classic is the barometer of Deutz, representing 80% of the volume of the house, and the house gives it first priority. But<br />

if any cracks <strong>de</strong>velop in the wake of increasing production, they will surely appear here, and certainly in a season as shaky<br />

as 2010. To the contrary, quite remarkably, this is as good as I have seen this refreshing apéritif. It presents an angaging<br />

contrast between the racy tension of lemon and grapefruit, the presence and volume of red apple, pear and white peach, and<br />

the elegant complexity of bottle age nuances of nougat, anise, brioche and mixed spice. the vivacity and subtlety that <strong>de</strong>fine<br />

the signature of Deutz are upheld within a style of cream bread, well-integrated dosage and expressive, long-lingering chalk<br />

mineral texture.<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé<br />

94<br />

The pure, fresh style of Deutz is perfectly suited to elegant and restrained rosé, and the house is unusual in producing the style at three<br />

different levels. Fabrice Rosset admits the challenge is to maintain a consistent style every year. "In vintages like 2001 and 2011, the<br />

climatic conditions ma<strong>de</strong> it a real challenge to uphold the consistency of our non-vintage wines." It leaves its stamp here in a dry, dusty<br />

mouthfeel and notes of temarillo. nonetheless, some subtle red cherry, pomegranate and pink pepper do manage to poke through amidst<br />

a creamy bead, good acid line, well-integrated dosage and lingering persistence. The 2010 base vintage is much more representative of a<br />

house accomplished in crafting pristine rosé right from its entry cuvée. It's fine and elegant, with pristine red cherryand rose petal lift,<br />

excellent integration of finely structured acidity, subtle dosage and refined, soft chalk mineral structure.<br />

Deutz Brut Millésimé 2006<br />

Current for at least four years now, this vintage is every bit as engaging as it was on day one. Refined and effortless, it<br />

sustains an excellent core of primary citrus zest, slowly evolving into soft peach, toast and honey, drawn out through a long,<br />

even finish.<br />

William Deutz 1999<br />

One of the rare cuvées to appear in all three editions of The Champagne Gui<strong>de</strong> to date, and here it is for one final showing. It peaked two<br />

years ago, and is now coming towards the end of its prime, complex, full and long with an impressive core of peach fruit and citrus zest<br />

becoming toasty, honeyed, spicy and buttery. Still great, but eclipsed in every way by the 2002.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2005<br />

I admire Fabrice Rosset for many reasons, not least his brutal honesty : "2005 is not my cup of tea, a vintage characterised<br />

by a vegetal character." This cuvée is a triumph of this difficult season and it's been evolving into itself confi<strong>de</strong>ntly since its<br />

release. True to the style of the house, there is a zesty vibrancy; an energetic freshness and an effortless grace here that's<br />

rarely expressed by this vintage. Crunchy pear, apple and grapefruit are evolving into nougat, vanilla custard, toast and<br />

spice. It conclu<strong>de</strong>s in a dry, brittle, almond skin-like phenolic texture, characteristic of 2005, yet diminishing with time postdisgorgement,<br />

thanks to a creamy body, expressive chalk mineral texture, substance, complexity and succulence that go<br />

some way towards softening and elongating the finish.<br />

Le gui<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>s Champagnes <strong>de</strong> marques par Jacques Dupont<br />

De petite maison inventive à forte implantation sur le marché intérieur, Deutz est <strong>de</strong>venue une gran<strong>de</strong><br />

maison originale et toujours fortement appréciée par les consommateurs français «Quand j'ai<br />

commencé, on était a 60 % <strong>de</strong> nos ventes sur le marché français et 40% à l'export, et on est toujours à<br />

60/40», s'amuse le boss, Fabrice Rosset. Seule différence, avant le rachat <strong>de</strong> la maison par Roe<strong>de</strong>rer en<br />

1993, Deutz produisait 700 000 bouteilles «On est a 2,2 millions aujourd'hui. Et encore, parmi les 700<br />

000, tout ne s'appelait pas Deutz, environ 30% <strong>de</strong>s volumes partaient sous <strong>de</strong>s marques d'acheteurs… ».<br />

Des sous marques pour la gran<strong>de</strong> distribution ou autres. Historiquement installée a Aÿ, Deutz a construit<br />

sur la commune <strong>de</strong> Mareuil un nouveau lieu <strong>de</strong> stockage <strong>de</strong> 3 000 mètres carrés pour les bouteilles<br />

après dégorgement « On prépare la maison à encore plus <strong>de</strong> développement... » Et Deutz continue <strong>de</strong><br />

faire entendre sa petite musique originale : « On est la seule marque à avoir trois cuvées <strong>de</strong> prestige et à<br />

les proposer aussi en <strong>de</strong>mi bouteilles. » C'est en effet le cas pour Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz et la célèbre William<br />

en blanc et rosé. Un petit coup <strong>de</strong> marketing à venir, peut être, avec, comme cela se murmure alentour,<br />

la création d'une cuvée parcellaire : un village, un lieu dit comme en Bourgogne.<br />

Champagne Deutz, Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2006<br />

Amour ist nie imposant und schon gar nicht in diesem Jahrgang. Das gilt auch für <strong>de</strong>n<br />

Rosé. Dafür zeigt er absolute Delikatesse und Eleganz. Alles ist luftig und e<strong>de</strong>l und<br />

transparent in diesem Wein. Herrlich jetzt zu geniessen, zu einer Wachtel, mit<br />

Delikatesse gebraten.<br />

Champagne Deutz, William Deutz 2006<br />

Von stilvoller, fein-würziger, durch und durch klassischer Art, betont elegant und<br />

zugänglicher als sonst, voll ausgereift, dicht und lang: grosser Wein, gehört garantiert<br />

zu <strong>de</strong>n besten <strong>de</strong>s Jahrgangs.<br />

Champagne Deutz, Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2008<br />

Halbe Flaschen grosser Cuvées champagnisieren nur wenige. Das ist verständlich und doch<br />

irgendwie scha<strong>de</strong>. Deutz tut es mit Erfolg. Der 2008 ist temperamentvoll, dicht, saftig und doch<br />

luftig. Irgendwie hat man Mühe zu glauben, dass so viel Wein in so eine kleine Flasche passt.<br />

Ce n’est que le second Millésime Rosé <strong>de</strong> la cuvée Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz créé<br />

pour célébrer le passage à l’an 2000.<br />

Fabrice Rosset, à la tête <strong>de</strong> la maison <strong>de</strong>puis 20 ans, et son chef <strong>de</strong> cave<br />

Michel Davesne , ont imaginé ce rosé dont la couleur tire sur le gris-rose<br />

pour compléter leur trio <strong>de</strong> cuvées <strong>de</strong> prestige. Le pinot noir en<br />

provenance <strong>de</strong> 4 terroirs prestigieux a la part belle dans l’assemblage<br />

(60%) mais, pour la finesse et la délicatesse on a eu recours à 40% <strong>de</strong><br />

chardonnays réputés (Avize et Villers-Marmery). Pour la couleur, 9%<br />

d’un grand vin rouge à partir <strong>de</strong> parcelles <strong>de</strong> vieilles vignes <strong>de</strong> pinot noir<br />

<strong>de</strong> la côte d’Aÿ. Un rosé d’une gran<strong>de</strong> finesse subtil et délicat.<br />

L’éclectisme chez Deutz. A Aÿ, on dit <strong>de</strong> ce Brut qu’il<br />

est « le plus éclectique <strong>de</strong> la gamme », autrement dit qu’il<br />

choisit ses tendances « dans <strong>de</strong>s catégories diverses ». Pas<br />

mal vu quand on sait que cette association <strong>de</strong> trois cépages<br />

est originaire <strong>de</strong> 20 à 30 crus <strong>de</strong> la Vallée <strong>de</strong> la Marne. Quant<br />

aux vins <strong>de</strong> réserve, on sait qu’ils sont <strong>de</strong> qualité puisque la<br />

Offering more <strong>de</strong>licate, elegant and un<strong>de</strong>rstated aromas, this 2007 melds red-berry fruits seamlessly with<br />

nectarines, peaches and roses. The palate's fine, elegant and beautifully balanced. There's really superb length<br />

and purity. Drink now.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé 2008<br />

A floral, pretty-smelling Champagne that has aromas of honey-drizzled rose petals, strawberries and<br />

William Deutz 2008<br />

A smoothly honed, precise and seductively textural Champagne that has impressive lemon, grapefruit and<br />

neat balance, freshness and vivacity here. Drink now through to 2022.<br />

Deutz Brut Rosé 2010<br />

More savory berry-nougat and strawberry-cream aromas, some attractive spicy complexity and toasted<br />

almonds to boot. The palate's smooth, creamy and shows berry-sorbet flavors that <strong>de</strong>liver a lithe and crunchy<br />

core. There's smoothness to close but also bright acidity. Drink now.<br />

Really fresh and lively showing more peach and lemon curd but with a touch of lime sorbet, too. There's fresh<br />

finish. Pretty Champagne. Drink now and through to 2020.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2006<br />

Showing much better than in my 2015 tasting, this has a bright and clean nose with plenty of lemons and<br />

peaches. The autolysis makes a fine showing, too. The palate's <strong>de</strong>eply flavored and has a mix of nectarine and<br />

lemon flavors; it's super clean, elegant and <strong>de</strong>cently powerful to boot. Drink now.<br />

This has some impressive complexity and layering to it, smelling of bright cherry fruits and pink-grapefruit<br />

citrus. There's also fresh pastry combined with hints of grilled cashew nuts. The palate has a nicely cut, crisp<br />

and even shape – in part thanks to the acidity, which is fine and runs <strong>de</strong>ep. The flavors follow the same berrycitrus<br />

mix seen on the nose. Drink now.<br />

Deutz Brut Classic<br />

An assertive citrus and peach-stone fruit style that has plenty of bread-dough and yeasty influence on the<br />

nose and palate. The acidity is piercing, and some red fruit flavors and smooth tannins show themselves to<br />

close things out. Drink now.<br />

FABRICE ROSSET<br />

Champagne Deutz<br />

Fondée en 1838, la maison Deutz cultive la<br />

constance, l’élégance et un certain classicisme<br />

champenois. Des valeurs incarnées par son<br />

prési<strong>de</strong>nt Fabrice Rosset, à la barre <strong>de</strong>puis<br />

1996, qui semble faire corps avec cette<br />

maison ayant construit sa réputation sur la<br />

finesse singulière <strong>de</strong> ses champagnes.<br />

Du champagne dans les veines<br />

« Le champagne coule dans mes veines »,<br />

s’amuse Fabrice Rosset. Pour ce natif<br />

d’Epernay qui a fait toute sa carrière au sein<br />

<strong>de</strong>s maisons, Roe<strong>de</strong>rer puis Deutz, cela<br />

semble une évi<strong>de</strong>nce. Mais comme tout vrai<br />

passionné, c’est aussi un amateur éclectique<br />

qui a tiré <strong>de</strong> son expérience du mon<strong>de</strong> le goût<br />

<strong>de</strong> la diversité, ce dont témoigne sa cave.<br />

Peu importe le flacon, pourvu<br />

qu’il y ait « l’authenticité, la<br />

typicité et le respect <strong>de</strong>s<br />

terroirs d’origine », <strong>de</strong>s<br />

valeurs cardinales qui sont<br />

aussi celles qu’il a promues<br />

au sein <strong>de</strong> la maison Deutz.<br />

Le réveil <strong>de</strong> la belle<br />

En 1996, quand il prend la<br />

direction <strong>de</strong> cette vénérable<br />

maison, il hérite d’une<br />

marque prestigieuse mais<br />

assoupie. « C’était une Belle<br />

au bois dormant », qu’il a<br />

fallu réveiller en douceur –<br />

« avec beaucoup <strong>de</strong> respect<br />

pour tout ce qui a précédé et<br />

en prenant en compte son<br />

ADN » insiste Fabrice Rosset.<br />

Malgré vingt ans d’une<br />

présence très fécon<strong>de</strong>, il a la<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>stie <strong>de</strong> celui qui n’est<br />

que <strong>de</strong> passage « sur scène ».<br />

« La maison existe <strong>de</strong>puis<br />

1838. Je suis un intermittent<br />

du spectacle qui aura posé sa<br />

pierre à l’édifice. ». Ou plutôt<br />

<strong>de</strong> soli<strong>de</strong>s fondations, car<br />

Deutz jouit aujourd’hui d’une<br />

belle image, entre classicisme<br />

et élégance, avec une gamme<br />

très cohérente qui puise<br />

principalement dans les<br />

grands terroirs situés dans un<br />

rayon <strong>de</strong> 30km autour d’Aÿ.<br />

Séduction et élégance<br />

Le style Deutz, c’est avant<br />

tout la quête « <strong>de</strong> séduction<br />

et d’élégance », mais en<br />

aucun cas <strong>de</strong> « frivolité », car<br />

« le champagne est un vin à<br />

part entière et exigeant. ».<br />

Le credo <strong>de</strong> la maison, c’est<br />

le soin à porter aux<br />

approvisionnements, « 75%<br />

dans les grands et premiers<br />

crus et le recours exclusif<br />

aux vins <strong>de</strong> cuvée », et aussi<br />

l’absence <strong>de</strong> bois dans la<br />

vinification ou l’élevage, le<br />

choix <strong>de</strong>s fermentations<br />

malolactiques systématiques<br />

et un long vieillissement sur<br />

lattes. Tous les vins <strong>de</strong> la<br />

gamme, soit neuf cuvées,<br />

sont construit autour <strong>de</strong><br />

cette élégance qui s’incarne<br />

dans la finesse <strong>de</strong>s textures,<br />

la pureté <strong>de</strong> fruit et la<br />

vinosité toujours aérienne<br />

<strong>de</strong>s vins. Le brut <strong>de</strong> la<br />

maison (Classic) en est une<br />

belle illustration, mais « on<br />

insiste pour conserver cette<br />

harmonie, y compris dans les<br />

cuvées plus puissantes ». La<br />

cuvée William Deutz, avec sa<br />

puissance contenue, sa<br />

complexité, sa profon<strong>de</strong>ur et<br />

son dynamisme lui donne<br />

raison.<br />

La cuvée William Deutz, issue <strong>de</strong>s<br />

trois cépages champenois (67% <strong>de</strong><br />

pinot noir, 30% <strong>de</strong> chardonnay et<br />

5% <strong>de</strong> meunier), ne ternira pas<br />

cette réputation. Le nez, d’une<br />

gran<strong>de</strong> fraîcheur, évoque l’acacia<br />

avant <strong>de</strong> s’orienter vers l’anis et le<br />

menthol. Le plaisir s’amplifie en<br />

bouche, où l’on trouve <strong>de</strong><br />

l’opulence et un côté gourmand,<br />

souligné par <strong>de</strong>s notes <strong>de</strong> miel, <strong>de</strong><br />

compote <strong>de</strong> pêches <strong>de</strong> vigne, <strong>de</strong><br />

quetsche. Un millésime <strong>de</strong> gran<strong>de</strong><br />

tenue, qui brille par sa complexité<br />

et sa finesse.<br />

Slate, crushed rocks, smoke<br />

some of the notes that<br />

emerge from the 2008<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé<br />

(375ml). Vibrant, salivating<br />

and crystalline in its purity,<br />

the 2008 offers exceptional<br />

precision and fabulous<br />

overall balance. The pure<br />

energy of the Chardonnay<br />

here is striking. This is a<br />

tremendous showing. The<br />

375ml bottles will be sold as<br />

a boxed set along with the<br />

2008 Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé<br />

The 2008 Brut William Deutz<br />

(375ml) is powerful, rich and<br />

intense, with plenty of warm,<br />

toasty notes that lend richness<br />

to the Chardonnay. Orange<br />

peel, candied apricot, pastry<br />

and butter notes flesh out in an<br />

expressive, layered Champagne<br />

to drink now and over the next<br />

few years. This is a distinctly<br />

rich, tropically-leaning style<br />

with consi<strong>de</strong>rable Pinot Noir<br />

richness. Rea<strong>de</strong>rs who like big,<br />

ample Champagnes will find<br />

much to enjoy here. The 375ml<br />

The 2008 Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz<br />

chalk, white pepper and<br />

sweet red berry scents open<br />

up effortlessly in the glass.<br />

Precise and finely sculpted,<br />

the 2008 can be enjoyed<br />

now or cellared for at least<br />

William Deutz 2006<br />

Powerful, bright and tightly-wound, the 2006 Brut William Deutz is<br />

built on a core of serious energy. White flowers, lemon oil, pears,<br />

smoke, slate, lime and mint all give the 2006 notable tension and<br />

brightness. This is another wine that will require patience. Today, the<br />

2006 is salivating and <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>dly taut. The future looks bright.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2006<br />

94<br />

The 2006 Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz is fabulous, and also shows what the house<br />

can do in a strong vintage. A rich, powerful Blanc <strong>de</strong> Blancs, the 2006<br />

boasts notable texture and breadth. Even with all of its intensity, the<br />

2006 preserves consi<strong>de</strong>rable freshness. Brioche, spice and yellow<br />

stone fruit nuances meld into the resonant, creamy finish. Rea<strong>de</strong>rs will<br />

have to give the 2006 at least a year or two in bottle, possibly more, as<br />

it is tightly wound and energetic to the core. Still, there is a lot to like<br />

in the wine's crisp, citrus-inflected notes and vibrant personality. The<br />

blend is 53% Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, 39% Avize and 8% Villers Marmery.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>utz Rosé 2006<br />

94<br />

93<br />

The 2006 Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz Rosé replaces the William Deutz Rosé in the<br />

house's range. Powerful and broad from the outset, the pale-colored<br />

2006 boasts serious intensity, with a compelling interplay of fruit and<br />

structure. Cranberry, rose petal and mint are some of the notes that<br />

gradually emerge from this sinewy structured Champagne. Expressive<br />

chalky notes support the brisk, intensely saline finish. The 2006 is going<br />

to be a gorgeous Champagne to follow for the better part of the next<br />

<strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong> or longer. The blend is 55% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ, Verzenay and<br />

Bouzy) and 45% Chardonnay (from Avize, Chouilly and Villers-<br />

Marmery.)<br />

Cuvée William Deutz 2002<br />

Another open-knit, radiant wine, the 2002 Cuvée William Deutz is<br />

quite expressive today. Honey, almonds, dried pears, chamomile,<br />

mint and crushed flowers blossom effortlessly. There is plenty of<br />

vintage 2002 generosity, especially on the finish, where the wine<br />

offers notable richness, creaminess and unctuosity. Already a bit<br />

forward, with plenty of vintage's exoticism, the 2002 is probably best<br />

enjoyed over the next handful of years. The 2002 is 62% Pinot Noir<br />

(from Aÿ, Mareuil-sur Aÿ, Bouzy, Louvois and Ambonnay), 27%<br />

Chardonnay (mostly from Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger) and 11%<br />

Pinot Meunier (from Peirry and Chatillon-sur-Marne).<br />

Rosé 2009<br />

93<br />

Deutz's 2009 Rosé is one of the highlights in this tasting. Silky and<br />

textured on the palate, the 2009 shows lovely focus, with plenty of bright<br />

red berry and stone fruit character. Mint and spice nuances are woven<br />

throughout, adding to the wine's overall complexity. The radiance of the<br />

vintage comes through nicely in this racy, super-expressive Rosé. Here,<br />

too, the wine's balance is impeccable. A Rosé of assemblage, the 2009 is<br />

80% Pinot Noir (including 8% still Pinot) and 20% Chardonnay, from Aÿ,<br />

Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Bouzy and Verzenay.<br />

Brut Millesime 2008<br />

92<br />

The 2008 Brut Millesime offers consi<strong>de</strong>rable richness from the<br />

predominance of Pinot in the blend along with the freshness of the<br />

vintage. Dried flowers, red stone fruit, cinnamon, chamomile, pear and<br />

slate are all highly expressive in the glass. The 2008 is generous and<br />

expansive on the palate, with consi<strong>de</strong>rable power and plenty of energy in<br />

reserve. The blend is 63% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot<br />

Meunier.<br />

92<br />

Brut Blanc <strong>de</strong> blancs 2008<br />

The 2008 Blanc <strong>de</strong> Blancs is attractive, but also a bit unusual in that it is<br />

quite open-knit consi<strong>de</strong>ring the vintage and fruit sources predominantly in<br />

Avize and Mesnil. Scents of brioche, spice, vanilla and white orchard fruit<br />

all blossom in the glass. The 2008 is rich on the palate, yet also conveys an<br />

impression of translucent weightlessness. The blend is 51% Avize and 41%<br />

Mesnil, with touches of fruit from Villers Marmery, Cramant and Vertus.<br />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2005<br />

91<br />

White truffle, herbs, orange blossom and spices are some of the notes that<br />

take shape in the 2005 Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz. There is good nuance in the glass,<br />

but the 2005 is also a bit forward, with slight hints of greenness and<br />

oxidation, which along with its mid-weight structure, suggest it is best<br />

enjoyed sooner rather than later. I also miss some of the energy that is<br />

present in the very best years. The 2005 is 100% Chardonnay, 60% Avize,<br />

35% Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and 5% Villers-Marmery.<br />
