From the storied cellars of Champagne Deutz comes a wine born from both technical mastery and poetic vision. “Amour de Deutz” is more than a prestige cuvée — it’s a love letter to Chardonnay, to timeless craft, and to vintage expression. And 2002 was a vintage for the history books.
This Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the revered vineyards of Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Villers-Marmery. The wine is aged on its lees for more than a decade before release, allowing its graceful layers to unfurl into a delicate symphony of complexity, finesse, and creamy depth.
The nose opens with aromas of lemon curd, white flowers, toasted almonds, and fine brioche, while the palate offers a luxurious mousse and notes of stone fruit, chalky minerality, and a whisper of honeyed citrus. Every sip is a testament to patience and perfection.
This isn’t just Champagne — it’s emotion in a bottle, meant for those moments you never want to forget.
