92 WS / 91 WA / 91 JS / 91 VM / 17 JR

Gold Medal Drinks Business Champagne Masters 2023

Established in 1838, Deutz espouses values of elegance, art, taste and sensations. This wine does not disappoint.  Mid-vieux rose in hue with small, persistent bubbles and a tight cordon, the aromatics are ethereal, showing pretty red berry fruits and Japanese cherry trees with a touch of fresh yeast. Brut-style, but soft on the palate, the wine is generous with crisp acidity and velvet-textured mousse. Good definition and length suggest salmon mousse with cucumber sauce or Creole specialities such as crayfish étoufée. A glass to accompany ‘high tea’ with scones, hand-made strawberry jam and clotted cream, or Victoria sponge cake would also work well. - Patricia Stefanowicz MW, Drinks Business

This fresh and personable rosé shows fine harmony and integration, with lively acidity and an appealing range of pink grapefruit sorbet, nectarine, biscuit and graphite notes riding the raw silk-like mousse. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2025. 13,500 cases made, 375 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

Antique pink in color and showing fine bubbles, the NV Deutz Brut Rosé (Lot LA114D03414) offers a very clear and subtle bouquet of red berries, candied cherries, plums and pomegranate. Medium to full-bodied, firm and very elegant on the palate, this Champagne combines its serious character with great delicacy and fruit finesse. Made from Pinot Noir grands crus from the Montagne de Reims with a small portion of Chardonnay, the wine gets its unique color of blending in about 8% of red wine produced from old Deutz vines on the hill of Aÿ, particularly from a plot known as “Meurtet.” SR – The Wine Advocate

Showcasing a wealth of sweet-smelling strawberry fruit aromas and rose perfumes, this has an attractive, direct style to it. The palate's fleshy and directly flavored with red berry fruits, handy depth and drive and a fresh cherry finish. Drink this really expressive Champagne now! - James Suckling

The NV Brut Rosé is fabulous. A sweet, open bouquet leads to expressive fruit in this rich, textured wine. The Deutz Rosé is a serious wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but it also has more than enough power in reserve to drink well at the dinner table. Floral notes reappear to round out the finish. The blend is 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. This is Lot LA111D31410. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

One of the most impressive non-vintage pink champagnes I have come across recently. Good dry finish. Pale rose red with real solid matter on the palate. - Jancis Robinson
