Deutz Brut Rosé

Deutz Brut Rosé is the blended rosé of Maison Deutz in Aÿ: a fruity, lively champagne, predominantly Pinot Noir, that works as well with an aperitif as with a meal.

Deutz Brut Rosé comes 100% from Grands and Premiers Crus. It is made by blending, predominantly Pinot Noir complemented by Chardonnay, and Meunier may be included in some years. Its colour comes from a Pinot Noir red wine from the house's own vineyard in Aÿ, made with care: rigorous sorting, cold maceration, gentle extraction and controlled fermentation. The cuvée then ages for three years in the cellar. The result is a fresh and generous rosé of great finesse that keeps the straightness typical of the house style.

Serving and storage

Serve it at around 8 °C in a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute, so its red fruit aromas can show. It is best enjoyed in the years following purchase. Store the bottle lying down, in a cool place away from light.

Food pairing

The house suggests it with salmon and mushrooms, beef carpaccio, duck with cranberries, rack of lamb or fresh cheeses such as chaource or brillat-savarin. It works as an aperitif as well as throughout the meal.
