The Producer
Deutz is a Champagne house based in Aÿ. Its named wines include Deutz Brut Classic and Amour de Deutz Brut Millesimé 2002. The house combines a brut cuvée with a vintage prestige cuvée, giving the named range two distinct styles.
Place
Aÿ is the home of Deutz in Champagne. The house's production history also reaches Marlborough, New Zealand, where it partnered with Montana Wines in 1988 to make sparkling wines.
Wines
Deutz Brut Classic is the brut cuvée. Amour de Deutz Brut Millesimé 2002 is the prestige cuvée. Its clear golden robe carries subtle bronze glints, while the nose brings delicate citrus, brioche and nervous mineral notes. The palate combines purity and lightness with intensity and complexity. Fresh lemon and a nicely bitter quality remain on the persistent finish, and the cuvée is built for long ageing.
Final Word
Deutz joins its Aÿ base to a history that reached the UK market, Marlborough sparkling wine and the Louis Roederer group. Its named range places a brut cuvée beside a vintage prestige cuvée.
