Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2007<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 />
raspberries. The palate's super fine, building smooth and creamy with bright, young-strawberry-fruit flavors<br />
and cherries to close. Elegant and precise. Drink now.<br />

William Deutz 2008<br />
A smoothly honed, precise and seductively textural Champagne that has impressive lemon, grapefruit and<br />
peach character, all combined with lightly toasty hazelnuts and a smooth, creamy sorbet-like texture. There's<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 />

Amour <strong>de</strong> Deutz 2008<br />
Really fresh and lively showing more peach and lemon curd but with a touch of lime sorbet, too. There's fresh<br />
toasty hazelnut complexity wrapped in a subtle layer on the palate, which all conclu<strong>de</strong>s in a bright pastry<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 />

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