2008 Deutz Rose Vintage

Readers who want to understand why 2008 is such a fabulous vintage for Champagne should check out Deutz's 2008 Brut Rosé. A tense, brilliant wine, the 2008 impresses for its energy, cut and pure crystalline focus. Even with all the mineral-infused cut, the 2008 is gorgeous and accessible today. Sweet floral notes add lift on the finish, but ultimately, the 2008 Rosé is really a wine of texture. May 2013, www.Vinous.com, Drink: 2013-2018

What a flowing rich vintage! What balance! What a lush burgundy-like strawberry aroma and what a wonderfully generous softness! Apr 14, www.champagneclub.com
