Why shop with us?
Amour de Deutz is one of Champagne Deutz’s most refined cuvées, crafted to showcase the purity and elegance of Chardonnay at its best. Presented here in the rare Mathusalem format and from the celebrated 2002 vintage, it offers exceptional prestige, impressive aging potential, and a striking presence for special occasions.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a luminous golden color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with citrus, white flowers, toasted almonds, and a delicate hint of honey.
On the palate, it is creamy and finely textured, balanced by a vibrant line of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and precise. The finish is long and harmonious, with notes of brioche, nuts, and subtle mineral tones. Thanks to the large-format bottling and the strength of the vintage, it has excellent aging potential and can continue to evolve beautifully over time.
Production
Amour de Deutz is made primarily from Chardonnay sourced from select Grand Cru vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils bring tension, finesse, and a distinctive mineral edge. The 2002 vintage is known in Champagne for its balance of ripeness and freshness, and the Mathusalem format allows the wine to mature more slowly, preserving complexity while deepening its character. Vinification is carried out with the goal of expressing purity, elegance, and the signature style of the house.
Food & Serving
This champagne is an excellent match for refined seafood dishes such as lobster, scallops, oysters, or caviar, as well as delicate poultry and cream-based sauces. Serve chilled at 8–10°C. Decanting is generally not necessary, though opening it a little ahead of service can help the wine fully reveal its aromatics, especially in this large-format bottle.
Producer
Champagne Deutz was founded in Aÿ in 1838 and has built a strong reputation for crafting elegant, balanced, and consistently high-quality champagnes. The house is particularly respected for its Chardonnay-based cuvées and its ability to combine finesse with depth. Amour de Deutz has become one of its most admired prestige bottlings, reflecting both the technical skill and the long-standing tradition that define the producer.
