The 2014 Brut Rosé from Deutz is a champagne with lovely notes of ripe red fruit and a lovely mineral freshness. It's a cuvée that can be enjoyed both as an aperitif and at the table, with beef carpaccio or red mullet. It's also a wonderful accompaniment to a red fruit dessert.
This cuvée is made from a blend of 80% Pinot Noir from the terroirs of Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzenay, Ambonnay, Mareuil and Tauxières, and 20% Chardonnay from the terroir of Avize on the Côte des Blancs.
To this blend is added 7% red wine made from Pinot Noir from a parcel of old vines in Aÿ, La Pelle, and two parcels in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ: Cumaine and Charmont.
Deutz Brut Rosé 2014 has a rosy gold color with coppery highlights. The effervescence is fine and elegant.
On the nose, this is a delicate champagne, with fine, elegant notes of red fruit intermingling with more mineral notes.
On the palate, the attack is frank, tonic and supple. The aromatic complexity of this cuvée is immediately apparent. Freshness and fruity aromas combine to form a silky, gourmet texture.
