Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 150
euros per bottle)
Mythical Champagne
Luxurious bottle,
coupled with its medallion wire decorated with the emblematic angel.
Aspect:
Golden and
crystal-clear.
Bubbles of a rare
finesse.
Creamy tears.
Nose:
Sublime, sensual and
endless aromatic harmony.
The Chardonnay
immediately establishes its grace, reinforced by the fulfillment of the
alcoholic fermentation of the base wines at low temperature (from 16 to 18 °C),
with delicate scents of citrus fruits, nice ripe peach, apple, pear, almond and
white flowers, deliciously iodized and mentholated.
Later, the Champagne
reveals its fullness with its fragrances of caramel and pastries,
characteristic signs of the long ageing of the bottles (8 years), in the secret
of the 3 km of cellar of the House dug in chalk at a depth of 65 m, in Aÿ.
Palate:
Vertiginous purity at
the opening, obtained by the rigorous selection of the juices from the first
pressing (cuvée) during the soft
pressing of the grapes, enhanced by the bright chalky minerality.
The mouth is revealed
ample and generous, enveloping.
Finish with a remarkable
presence, gifted with a heady vital force, punctuated by delicate spices.
Impressive length on the
palate.
For this cuvée Amour de Deutz 2007, Michel
Davesne, cellar master of the Champagne House Deutz, was able to orchestrate
with sensitivity the osmosis of the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs (mainly
Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger).
To taste from aperitif
to festive meals, with a grenoblois-style
skate wings, for example.
Under the leadership of
Fabrice Rosset, at the head of the House since 1996, assisted by Patrick
Boivin, vineyard manager, and Michel Davesne, cellar master, the Champagne
House Deutz has been perpetuating its endless quest for excellence. A vineyard
of 245 hectares established in the best Crus of Champagne, of which 42 hectares
belong to the House, cultivated with the real desire to reduce the
environmental footprint, and a controlled œnology enable the Champagne House
Deutz to perpetuate its style signing a range of exceptional bottles.
