Where Brut Classic shows the house's dry, classic side, Rose AOP reveals a more sensual facet of Deutz. The colour alone - a pale, salmon-pink hue - tells the story of a champagne built to charm.
Expert's Description
Deutz Rose AOP is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with an alcohol content of 12%. The rose colour is achieved by adding a small proportion of red wine from Pinot Noir to the white cuvee before the second fermentation, a method that gives Deutz precise control over colour and fruit character. The champagne house, founded in Ay in 1838, has made rose a permanent part of its range, keeping the style dry despite the more fruit-driven profile. The bubbles form through the Traditional Method, with extended lees ageing.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, combined with a touch of rose petal.
Palate
Round and fruity on the palate with a hint of red berries, carried by fresh acidity and a creamy texture.
Finish
The finish is medium in length, with a final soft hint of berries.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne flute or tulip glass. Decanting is not needed. Rose AOP pairs with salmon, strawberry desserts, or a light summer spread of berries.
