What kind of wine is Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (in case)
Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (in case) is a Blanc de Blancs of extraordinary elegance, crafted by one of the oldest and most renowned houses in Aÿ, in the heart of Champagne. Deutz, founded in 1838, is synonymous with precision and finesse, two elements that perfectly define this high-class vintage. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the most prized crus of the Côte des Blancs, this champagne embodies the essence of the "méthode champenoise": a bottle re-fermentation process that gives the bubbles their unmistakable creaminess and liveliness.Vintage Details
The 2013 vintage was characterized by a harsh winter and a cool summer, with a late harvest that took place under optimal conditions. These peculiarities allowed for the collection of perfectly ripe grapes, with an intense aromatic profile and rich acidity, ideal for long aging. The result is a vintage that combines freshness and complexity, maintaining a distinct mineral tension.Winemaking and aging
The winemaking of Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 strictly follows the méthode classique – also known as méthode champenoise – with a second fermentation in the bottle. The wine then rests on its lees for about 7 years, during which time it develops notes of great depth and a velvety texture. The final dosage, "Brut," maintains a perfect balance between freshness and roundness.Tasting Notes

How to best open and serve Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (case)
1. Bottle placement
Before opening, ensure that the bottle of Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (case) has been stored horizontally, in a cool place, and away from light. Approximately 24 hours before serving, position it vertically to allow any sediment to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clear and brilliant wine when poured.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The correct temperature is crucial for enhancing the complex aromas of a vintage Champagne. I recommend bringing the bottle to a temperature between 8°C and 10°C. You can chill it in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes, but avoid excessively low temperatures, which would inhibit the delicate aromatic notes.
3. Opening the bottle
To correctly open the bottle of Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (case):
- Gently remove the metal capsule and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on top of the cork for safety.
- Hold the bottle at a 45° angle and rotate the bottle (not the cork) with a slow and controlled movement.
- Allow the cork to come out with a soft sigh, avoiding a "pop": this preserves the natural effervescence of the Champagne.
4. Inspection and first taste
Once opened, pour a small amount of Champagne into a glass to evaluate its color, effervescence, and aroma. Observe the perlage: it should be fine and persistent. Upon tasting, check for any oxidative notes and ensure the aromatic bouquet is fresh and balanced, as expected for a great vintage Champagne.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although it is rare to decant a Champagne, in the case of a vintage such as Amour De Deutz 2013, a slight oxygenation can favor the full aromatic expression. You can:
- Slowly pour the wine into a large, clean decanter, being careful not to lose too much effervescence.
- Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
This step helps to soften the bubbles and open up the complex aromas of ripe fruit, brioche, and hazelnut typical of this cuvée.
6. Serving
Use flutes or wide glasses, ideal for enhancing the complexity of Champagne Brut 'Amour De Deutz' 2013 - Deutz (case). Pour slowly, tilting the glass to maintain a fine and constant perlage. Serve with elegance and pair with refined dishes such as oysters, crustaceans, white meats, or soft cheeses.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed immediately, reseal the bottle with an airtight Champagne stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Consume the wine within 24 hours to best enjoy its freshness and bubbles. Avoid leaving the bottle open for too long, as the loss of effervescence compromises the sensory experience.
