Champagne Deutz Amour de Deutz Rosé 2013 is the prestigious rosé cuvée of the historic House in Aÿ. Blending 58% Pinot Noir with 42% Chardonnay, including 6% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine, this exceptional rosé combines the natural freshness of the 2013 vintage with approximately nine years of cellar maturation. Red berries, rose and blood orange meet subtle brioche notes in an exceptionally refined Champagne, with a silky texture, vibrant energy and a long chalky, saline finish.
Colour: luminous pale pink with subtle copper highlights and fine bubbles.
Nose: complex and delicate, combining wild strawberry, redcurrant and cranberry with rose and blood orange. With air, subtle toasted brioche and pastry notes emerge.
Palate: precise and energetic, with crisp red fruit supported by fine mousse and a silky texture. The vintage's vibrant acidity balances the maturity of the fruit before a persistent, chalky and saline finish.
The blend comprises 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay. Pinot Noir is sourced notably from Aÿ, Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy, while Chardonnay comes from distinguished Champagne terroirs including Avize, Vertus and Villers-Marmery. Together they provide vinosity, refinement and tension.
One of the defining elements of Amour de Deutz Rosé is the inclusion of 6% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. Produced following cold maceration with only the free-run juice retained, it contributes colour, texture and aromatic depth while preserving the remarkable finesse of the cuvée.
After several years of relatively early harvests, 2013 returned Champagne to a longer growing season, with picking extending from late September into early October. Slow ripening preserved high natural acidity, which remains central to the character of the vintage. Following approximately nine years in the Deutz cellars, the wine combines mature complexity with remarkable energy.
Amour de Deutz Rosé 2013 received 97/100 from James Suckling, 95/100 from Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 from Wine Advocate, 94/100 from Vinous and 94/100 from Wine Spectator. Recent reviews particularly emphasise its precision, mineral freshness and ability to combine maturity with tension.
Serve at around 10°C in a generous wine glass. Its refinement and vinous character make it an excellent match for grilled lobster, langoustines, red mullet, John Dory, beef carpaccio or pigeon with cherries. Already beautifully mature, the 2013 can continue to develop for several more years.
Amour de Deutz Rosé 2013 is now at a particularly compelling stage, combining mature aromatic complexity with the tension that defines the vintage. Avoid serving it too cold or in a narrow flute: a generous glass allows its rose, citrus, red-fruit and brioche nuances to unfold gradually.

Yes, and this is one of the attractions of the vintage today. Following approximately nine years of maturation before release and additional bottle ageing, the 2013 now combines mature aromatic complexity with impressive freshness. Vinous gives a drinking window of 2025 to 2030.
They are two distinctly different prestige cuvées. Amour de Deutz 2013 is a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay. Amour de Deutz Rosé 2013 combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a small proportion of Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. The Rosé is consequently more vinous and red-fruited, while the Blanc de Blancs places greater emphasis on citrus, finesse and tension.
Amour de Deutz Rosé sits at the top of the House's rosé range. Compared with Rosé Millésimé, its vineyard selection, maturation and overall ambition place greater emphasis on complexity and refinement. The 2013 now offers a more evolved expression, combining rose, citrus and brioche with a particularly persistent chalky finish.
2013 stands apart from many recent Champagne vintages characterised by increasingly early harvests. Cooler conditions resulted in slow ripening and a late harvest, helping the grapes retain substantial natural acidity. This freshness is now a major asset in the development of the finest 2013 Champagnes.
We would not recommend conventional decanting. Instead, serve it at around 10°C in a generous Champagne or white-wine glass and allow it to evolve naturally. At this stage of maturity, the bouquet changes considerably with air and is particularly rewarding to follow throughout a meal.
It is first and foremost a gastronomic Champagne. Its texture, Pinot Noir component and bottle development allow it to accompany dishes that would overwhelm a lighter Champagne, including grilled lobster, red mullet, pigeon, beef carpaccio and refined Japanese cuisine.
