Tasting notes
Alongside the superb Amour de Deutz Blanc de Blancs, the 2013 Amour de Deutz Rosé—disgorged in December 2022 with a dosage of seven grams per liter—stands as the crown jewel of the cellar this year. It unfurls from the glass with a hauntingly complex bouquet of rose petals, cranberry and blood orange, entwined with accents of burnt buttered toast. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied yet tensile, defined by a taut musculature, a vibrant fruit core and racy acids that carry it toward a persistent, chalk-inflected close. While its Blanc de Blancs sibling may rival it in complexity, the Rosé distinguishes itself as the most ethereal of all the house’s vintage-dated releases this year. It is composed of 42% Chardonnay and 58% Pinot Noir, incorporating 6% red wine obtained through cold maceration of Pinot Noir, with only the free-run juice retained.

Decadent perfume lifts from the glass of the 2013 Champagne Amour De Deutz Millésime Brut Rosé, which displays a pale salmon color and offers luxurious aromas of almond croissant, rose petal, and preserved apricot. Rounded and medium-bodied, with a pillowy mousse, it takes on a pretty citrus-tinged profile through the palate with notes of tangerine and has a silky texture as well as good length. For those who enjoy the entry rosé of Deutz, this is a great splurge to seek out, as it has a similarly approachable and elegant profile that casts a wide net for enjoyment. It also has a fair bit of longevity ahead of it. Drink 2024-2040.
The 2013 Amour de Deutz Rosé is in fine shape today. Now gently softened through the gradual passage of time, the 2013 is soft, open-knit and ready to give pleasure. Cranberry, white flowers and a kick of citrus all take shape in the glass. Gentle contours wrap it all together in style. I would prefer to drink the 2013 over the next handful of years.
