Description & Technical Information
-
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.
The grapes for this blend hail from the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir) and the Côte des Blancs (Chardonnay). All the grapes are pressed and vinified at Deutz’s state of the art winery in Aÿ, to give a clean white base wine. The blend gains its rosé colour from the addition of red wine (around 8%), made from Pinot Noir grown in the Meurtet vineyard on the hill directly behind the winery. This non-vintage blend traditionally has between 25% - 40% reserve wines. Upon assemblage, it spends 3 years ageing on the lees, and a further 6 months following dégorgement before release.

Tasting Note: This wine has an appetising pale salmon-pink colour, with flashes of orange, and a persistent fine mousse. The nose is inviting, with aromas of wild strawberries, cranberries and raspberries. On the palate it is fresh but has a mellow character following its three years of ageing on the lees. A long and pleasing finish..
Champagne Deutz Overview
+
Champagne Deutz, based in Ay, one of Champagne's historic and most renowned terriors. Founded in 1838 through the association of William Deutz with Pierre-Hubert Geldermann, both wine merchants from Aix-La-Chapelle. Their idea was that to make a great wine, first a great vineyard was needed, so they set off in the search for top local vineyards. Deutz soon became an international brand with Deutz and Geldermann using their knowledge and expertise of markets in their favour. Successors followed suit and tradition and through the 20th Century continued to purchase excellent vineyards in some of Champagnes best villages.
In 1993, Louis Roederer partnered with Deutz to save it from going into financial trouble, with Champagne Louis Roederer's help Deutz has increased production threefold and vastly improved methods and modernising cellars.
Currently under the leadership of Fabrice Rosset, Deutz still strives for excellence, terrior and sustainable viticulture.
Location: Ay
Cellar Master: Michel Davesne
Annual production: 2,000,000 bottles
“80% of the grapes for this prettily packaged wine come from premier or grand cru villages. The blend is 90% Pinot Noir (including 8% still red from the Meurtet vineyard on the hill directly behind the winery in Aÿ) and 10% Chardonnay. After the blend is made it spends three years ageing on the lees, and a further six months following disgorgement with a dosage of 9 g/l. Note that the word Sakura, Japanese for cherry blossom, doesn't appear on either front or back label, although it is on the pink box in which the bottle is packaged. And there are no details of date of disgorgement or of the vintages in the blend. Numbers on the foil: 124776 and LA121D30919.
Extremely pale orangey smoked-salmon colour. Quite a broad nose reminiscent of buttery apple sauce. Marked acidity – much more than you would expect from the nose – but mouth-filling, with gentle mousse and still a little bite on the finish. You could drink this with or without food. A useful Valentine champagne?
