Regarding the Champagne Deutz Amour de Deutz 2015
A prestige cuvée from Maison Deutz, Amour de Deutz 2015 embodies all the nobility of Champagne Chardonnay. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards—notably Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger—this vintage Blanc de Blancs captivates with its purity, depth, and elegance.
Its pale gold color is enlivened by bubbles of great finesse. The nose reveals notes of white flowers, candied citrus, yellow fruits, brioche, and honey. On the palate, the freshness of mandarin and blood orange blends with the rich flavor of yellow peach, leading to a long, delicately briny finish. Its dosage of 6.5 g/l maintains a remarkable balance between freshness and richness.
Characterized by a bright spring and a hot summer, the 2015 vintage fostered concentrated fruit flavors. Rain in August aided the ripening of the grapes, which were harvested from September 15 to 18 in excellent condition. The Chardonnays, harvested at optimal ripeness, give rise to a champagne that combines aromatic richness, freshness, and elegance.
Ideal for special occasions and gourmet meals, Amour de Deutz 2015 pairs wonderfully with lightly seared scallops, enhanced with a passion fruit emulsion. It will also beautifully complement fine fish and shellfish, offering a tasting experience full of finesse.
After nine years of aging in the cellar, this cuvée already reveals beautiful complexity. When stored away from light in a cool cellar at a stable temperature, it will continue to evolve for several more years.
