1999 | Deutz | Amour de Deutz Methusalem (Imperial)

Born of the romance of Chardonnay's Grands Crus and nurtured in a heaven of natural chalks, it boasts the impish charme of youth, which will gradually softens over the years to reveal the grape's quintessential qualities in a harmony for all the senses. A unique, refined and amazing cuvée. This Mathusalem is the very first of the Cuvée Amour de Deutz. It is extremely rare as no more than 365 numbered Mathusalems were ever produced. The first opus of the collection is wrapped in a white leather dress, which is finely embroidered with a golden string.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A Blanc de Blancs, fromChardonnay, Deutz's top cuvée in its elegant long-necked bottle has been given enough bottle age from the vintage to bring out a whole raft of complex flavors that are structured finely but are also allowed to express their weight. There are almonds and quince, a texture that is rigorous, but also elegant.

• Tom Cannavan: A lovely nose, very clear, very crisp and brightly focused, with a little of that developed meaty Umami showing though, with a hit of truffle and lovely Chardonnay fruit still; a touch of yellow plum or peach to the citrus. Long, and beautifully focused into a long finish.

Producer Information

Since 1838, Champagne Deutz, one of the oldest members of the former and prestigious Association of Grandes Marques, has been making champagnes of a distinctive style characterized by a perfect harmony of finesse, elegant vinosity and complexity. Sourcing from 300 hectares (approx. 615 acres) of vineyards, amongst the finest of Champagne’s crus, as well as a rigorous selection of the choice bunches, allow Deutz to use only top quality grapes. The wines are slowly and carefully aged in the cool hush of the 3 kilometres of the House cellars which have been carved in the chalky soil of the famous historic village of Aÿ. The “DEUTZ trio Prestige” comprises three prestige cuvées, each with its very distinct personality. William Deutz is made from the best pinots and chardonnays; Amour de Deutz is composed uniquely of the finest chardonnays ; finally there is Amour de Deutz Rosé. In each of these styles, Maison DEUTZ shows the full extent of its know-how and its attachment to precise, finely-tuned wines.
