With the 2010 vintage, Champagne Deutz, for the first time, focused on the cautious, but certain trend (read about this in my book ‘Champagne – The Future Uncorked’) towards more single vineyard champagnes (champagnes parcellaires). Pinot grapes from two of these lieux-dits in Aÿ were blended into one cuvée: Parcelles d’Aÿ, a really good, exciting champagne.
And now, Champagne Deutz have released the 2012
Once you think and work in terms of champagnes parcellaires, the logical consequence is that you further ‘reduce’ such a cuvée to its single entities, to single vineyard lieu-dit champagnes.
As a result, there are two champagnes parcellaires 2012. Tribute to Fabrice Rosset. Deutz is still one of the few houses embarking on this promising road.
I have, so far, not been able to taste either 2012.
Dutch importer: Fourcroy in Bussum.
