Decanter
The 2006 vintage in Champagne has abundant charm and ripeness, thanks to a warm summer that suited Pinot Noir. In most good wines, there may be a slight lack of acidity, but it's often compensated for by partly avoiding the pack for its gentle, fresh aromatic character, a fine-drawn structure and a minerality that comes from balancing grand cru Chardonnay to energize the Pinot in the blend. A great wine for luxurious sauced shellfish such as lobster, or roast turbot with grilled mushrooms.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a wine that balances maturity with a light, fresh style. It’s elegant and immediately attractive with a straight line of acidity cutting through the apple and lemon flavors. It is ready to drink now, but likely to improve for several more years. Drink through 2020.

Wine Spectator
A smoky, minerally undertow supports the flavors of black currant, kumquat, honey, toasted brioche and baked apple in this firm version, with an intense and lively bead. Best from 2015 through 2026. 500 cases imported.

Since 1838, Champagne Deutz, one of the oldest members of the former and prestigious Association of Grandes Marques, has been making champagnes of a distinctive style characterized by a perfect harmony of finesse, elegant vinosity and complexity.
Sourcing from 300 hectares (approx. 615 acres) of vineyards, amongst the finest of Champagne’s crus, as well as a rigorous selection of the choice bunches, allow Deutz to use only top quality grapes.
The wines are slowly and carefully aged in the cool hush of the 3 kilometres of the House cellars which have been carved in the chalky soil of the famous historic village of Aÿ.
The “DEUTZ trio Prestige” comprises three prestige cuvées, each with its very distinct personality. William Deutz is made from the best pinots and chardonnays; Amour de Deutz is composed uniquely of the finest chardonnays ; finally there is Amour de Deutz Rosé. In each of these styles, Maison DEUTZ shows the full extent of its know-how and its attachment to precise, finely-tuned wines.
Each blend, from the renowned Deutz Brut Classic, is recognized for its high quality and remarkable consistency. Year after year, each of them epitomizes the expertise and the passion of Maison Deutz for its finely-tuned champagnes.
