Deutz Amour de Deutz 2010 is a prestige cuvée vintage champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. Sourced primarily from historic Grand Cru vineyards like Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it offers bright citrus, white flowers, brioche, and fine bubbles despite a challenging growing season.
Core Specifications and Winemaking Process
- Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay.
- Grape Origin: Primarily selected from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs of the Champagne region, such as Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, and Cramant, with a small blend of Premier Cru grapes from Villers-Marmery in the Montagne de Reims.
