Amour de Deutz Rosé 2007
Amour de Deutz 2008
95 95
Crisp red fruit dominates this beautifully crafted wine.
Poised and stylish, it exudes sophistication with its
bright red currant fruit and delicious acidity. A lively
mousse enhances its crisp texture and fine aftertaste.
Drink from 2018.
This wine is rich and surprisingly full-bodied. It comes
from a great Champagne vintage, giving it both
intensity and an acidity built for longterm aging. This
half-bottle version is filling out, showing almond
flavors yet retaining its citrus edge. Drink from 2019.
Amour de Deutz Rosé 2006
95 With its beautiful rose color and delicate flavors, this
continues the elegant tradition of Amour de Deutz. It's
one of the Champagne house's three prestige cuvées
and the most refined. This crisp wine, with its soft
acidity, ripe strawberry fruits and tang of citrus is ready
to drink, although it will age in bottle for many years.

Amour de Deutz Rosé 2008
The half-bottle format has sped up the maturing of this
wine. It rides a fine line between crisp red fruit and
fuller, toastier character. With great acidity, layers of
zingy citrus and a soft texture, it's delicate and ready to
drink.
William Deutz 2008
A high proportion of Pinot Noir gives this Deutz prestige
cuvée richness as well as a strong green fruit character.
Citrus, green apples and intense acidity underpin this
finely understated wine. Drink from 2018.
William Deutz 2006
The second of two prestige cuvées from Deutz, this
shows its high proportion of Pinot Noir with its fullbodied
nature. Already mature, it has broadened into a
richly complex, toasty, spicy wine. With full-throttle
acidity that gives it a taut edge, it's impressive and
ready to drink.
Amour de Deutz 2006
Still very crisp and fruity with only a hint of maturity,
this is a bright, apple- and citrus- driven wine. Light and
stylish, it gets its generous minerality from the
Chardonnay in the blend. While it's great now, it will be
even better from 2018.
Deutz Brut Millésimé 2010
This wine, though still young, reveals much about the
Deutz style as well as the vintage. It strikes a balance
between softness and crispness that fits the ethos of
the house. At the same time, it's an attractive mediumterm
bottling, in line with what many producers
achieved in 2010. It should be kept until 2019.

wine to age. Bright and lively with a sophisticated edge
of acidity and red currant fruit, it should be cellared until
2019.
Deutz Blanc de Blancs 2010
This wine is still young, reveling in its bright fruit and
mineral texture. Drawn from Côte des Blancs vineyards,
it's tight, tense and loaded with citrus fruit. With its
finely crisp aftertaste, it's delicious now for its fruit but
will also be great from 2020, once its toasty character
develops more fully.
