Champagne Deutz owns 42 hectares of vineyards, which supply 20% of its grapes. The rest of the grapes are sourced from growers, many of whom have been working with Deutz for generations. Grapes are harvested from the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, with over 80% of the grapes coming from vineyards that are rated Premier or Grand Cru.

Weather: The 2009 vintage was a continental, sunny year with a real winter that was very cold and dry followed by a glorious sun-filled summer and almost no rain in August and September. The harvest was incomparable in terms of quality and produced consistent, fresh and crunchy grapes.

Tasting Note: Pale peachy colour. Gentle charred complexity on the nose which shows fresh white fruit and baking spices. Beautifully toasty showing fragrant gunpowdery undertones. Soft and gourmand, light-weight, lively palate. Juicy and delicious with a long length of pure fruitiness. - Tasting note by Essi Avellan MW
