Deutz Brut Rose NV (750ML)

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

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Very attractive nose of apricots, nectarines, rhubarb and red berries plus a delicate floral touch. A serious rosé with lovely creaminess yet no sense of weight until you reach the finish, but even there, there are no perceptible tannin that might clash with the lively mousse. Instead long and fresh with a hint of nuttiness. Based on the 2018 vintage with 10% reserve wines. Just 4% white base wines, the remainder red wines from Ay and Mareuil, 80% pinot noir. Drink now." 08/23

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
