Brut Rosé

The Brut Rosé from Deutz is made of 79 per cent Pinot Noir and 21 per cent Chardonnay. The result is a rosé in which fruit and freshness take centre stage. Robert Parker gave it 89 out of 100 points. The mousse is fine, and raspberry glints shimmer in the glass. On the nose you find raspberries, wild strawberries, cherries and redcurrants, clear and precise.

On the palate come fresh raspberries and strawberries with a slightly tart note that gives the wine tension. The structure holds, the dosage feels in balance, and the style stays typical of Deutz: slender, elegant, without heaviness. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or tulip glass so the fruit can unfold. It goes well with king prawns, curried prawns and veal, and with dessert, a raspberry tart with white chocolate. The bottle comes in a gift box.
