Deutz Brut Rose NV (1.5L)

91 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "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.”" 10/15

92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Lots of crushed strawberry with cherry and some stone and mineral undertones. Peaches, too. Fuller style of rosé with lots of fruit and creaminess at the end. Vinous finish. Pure fruit. The base is 2018. Drink now." 01/22

91 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "Fresh and minerally, a fine, aperitif-style rosé Champagne, with a chalky underpinning to the flavors of nectarine, anise, grapefruit sorbet and biscuit. Harmonious, with a lingering, creamy finish. Drink now through 2022. 30,000 cases made, 97 cases imported." 11/20
