The 2019 Brut Rosé Millésime cuvée from Deutz champagne stands out for its full-bodied structure, intensity, and aromatic brilliance.

This champagne is as appealing at the table as it is as a refined gift.
The production of Deutz's Brut Rosé Millésime 2019 champagne
Each vintage at Deutz is the expression of a unique year. In 2019, the sunshine and early harvest produced concentrated, perfectly ripe grapes. The Brut Rosé Millésime 2019 cuvée is a blend dominated by Pinot Noir, enriched with a small proportion of red wine to add color and aromatic intensity.
It is made from:
- 80% Pinot Noir: power, structure, and aromatic intensity of red fruits.
- 20% Chardonnay: freshness, tension, and floral elegance.
The terroir
The grapes come exclusively from carefully selected Premiers and Grands Crus:
- Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ: produce powerful and intense Pinot Noir grapes.
- Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay: provide full-bodied, deep and colorful Pinot Noir grapes.
- Mailly and Cumières: add finesse and airy fruitiness.
- Avize and Ambonnay: offer delicate, balanced Chardonnays with floral notes.
Vinification
The cuvée was drawn on June 17, 2020, and aged for at least five years in the Deutz cellars. Malolactic fermentation was carried out, softening the texture and revealing a delicious roundness. The dosage, at 6.5 g/L, makes this a Brut that combines freshness and intensity. This long aging brings complexity and depth without altering the brightness of the fruit.
The 2019 vintage in Champagne
2019 was a sunny and early year. The harvest, carried out at the end of August, produced concentrated grapes that were perfectly healthy and rich in aromas. The hot, dry climate produced generous, structured, and fruity wines with beautiful intensity. For the 2019 Brut Rosé, Deutz has magnified the concentration of Pinot Noir while preserving freshness and balance thanks to the contribution of Chardonnay.
Tasting notes
Color

Nose
The nose reveals a dazzling aromatic generosity. A basket of ripe red fruits—strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant—expresses itself with intensity. Notes of redcurrant jelly, vine peach, and a subtle rose fragrance bring elegance and refinement.
Palate
On the palate, the attack is full-bodied, silky, and indulgent. The freshness supports a generous and fruity texture, without ever weighing down the whole.
