WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Deutz Brut Rosé Millésimé 2016 is produced using the traditional method. Grapes are sourced from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. Following alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the still wines undergo aging. The wine is then bottled for secondary fermentation, creating its characteristic mousse. Extended aging on lees, typically 4-6 years for vintage cuvées, is a key technique employed by Deutz to develop the wine's complexity and texture.
