Valentine’s Day is around the corner, ARE YOU READY?

Be it this Rosé or the Blanc de Blancs, NOTHING says I LOVE YOU like a bottle of Amour.

Deutz, as under the radar as it may be, is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses, and is a sister property to Louis Roederer. Amour de Duetz is the Tête de Cuvée as Cristal is to Roederer, representing the absolute best of a vintage from their top vineyards in Vru villages, in 2011 it’s from Avize, Le Mesnil, Oger, Villeneuve, Vertus, and Villers-Marmery.

Hear us out, and Antonio Galloni of Vinous when he says “I was quite impressed with the wines I tasted from Deutz… all of these wines deserve attention. The Deutz style is best described as classic… impeccably made and absolutely delicious.”

A beautiful wine to both admire and savor. Gracious and ethereal on the nose, it possesses striking persistence and tons of character. Bright red berry and floral notes race through this taut, crystalline Rosé that packs a tremendous punch and somehow remains lighter on its feet. Dark raspberries, rose petals, lavender, crushed rocks and sage are all beautifully lifted. Pure and distinctive, open it a few hours in advance and serve with caviar on blini, or oysters.

Check out the Blanc de Blancs we have too and grab what you can of the 24 bottles of each we got. Then take your time, on the day of and melt some Valrhona chocolate to dip fresh berries in it, DON’T get the ready-made stuff, and even more importantly, just don’t tell them you paid the BEST PRICE on earth for Amour, trust us on that.

Oh, and make sure you opt out of temperature-controlled shipping to assure they arrive by V-Day!

Love may be everlasting but these won’t.

97 Points – James Suckling “What a complex nose of stone fruits with a slew of delicate spicy aromas. Super-elegant and precise on the sleek and incredibly focused palate. Steadily builds to a great finale where a touch of saltiness seems to ignite the staggering mineral freshness, creating a fireworks display on your palate. Drink or hold.”

95 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous “The pale-colored 2013 Brut Rosé Millésimé Amour de Deutz is a total delight. Grapefruit, cranberry, white pepper, slate and mint all grace this chiseled, ethereal Rosé. Brisk acids pull it all together nicely. The 2013 feels pretty taut today. I would give it a few hours of aeration if possible. There’s a lot of wine here. Drink 2024-2033.”

95 Points, Cellar Selection – Wine Enthusiast “This is a fine, mature Champagne, its fruit and spice coming happily together. With an intense citrus edge and vivid fruitiness, the wine is at a fine point between maturity and freshness. Drink now.”
