Champagne Deutz owns 42 hectares of vineyards, which supply 20%of its grapes. The rest of the grapes are sourced from growers, manyof whom have been working with Deutz for generations. Grapes areharvested from the Montagne de Reims, Cte des Blancs, and Vallede la Marne, with over 80% of the grapes coming from vineyards
that are rated Premier or Grand Cru. Harvest is usually aroundmid-September and is done by hand, with pickers paid by the hourrather than the kilo, to ensure they do not compromise on the qualityof the fruit that they harvest. Deutz farms all its vineyards accordingto the principals of la lutte raisonne.

This wine has an appetizing pale salmon-pink colour, with flashesof orange, and a persistent fine mousse. The nose is inviting,with aromas of wild strawberries, cranberries and raspberries.On the palate it is fresh but has a mellow character followingits three years of ageing on the lees. A long and pleasing finish.
