Deutz Rose Vintage 2014 French Champagne 75 cl 12%

While the house's Rose AOP is a permanent fixture in the range year after year, Rose Vintage is reserved for the vintages Deutz's cellar master deems worthy of standing alone. 2014 is one of them - a rare, pure Pinot Noir champagne from a single harvest.

Expert's Description

Deutz Rose Vintage 2014 is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France, made from 100% Pinot Noir with an alcohol content of 12%. Unlike the house's non-vintage rose, this is a vintage champagne where all the grapes come from the 2014 harvest - a year that, despite challenging weather across much of Champagne, allowed Deutz to select its finest Pinot Noir parcels for a concentrated, deeply coloured cuvee. The champagne has spent longer on the lees than the house's standard wines, giving it extra complexity and depth.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense on the nose, with ripe raspberry, cherry and a hint of pepper.

Palate

Full-bodied and fruit-driven on the palate, with bold red berries, a creamy texture and acidity that keeps it all taut and fresh.

Finish

The finish is long and persistent, with a final note of dark cherry.

Serving & Food Pairing

Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne flute, or preferably a white wine glass to highlight the aromas. Decanting is not needed. The wine pairs with roast duck, game or a lightly seasoned tuna dish.
