On the eye, the wine is a captivating crystal-clear golden hue, delicately supported by a delicate bead and smooth effervescence. On the nose, Amour de Deutz 2011 shows a rich and complex intensity. The deep, distinct bouquet reveals notes of stone fruit: apricot, peach, etc. accompanied by subtle notes of pastry almost "tarte tatin." The wine is broad and vibrant on entry. It wraps the palate in a velvety lace complemented by long-lasting aromas. The aromas found on the nose come through again on the palate whose silky, lingering finish is prolonged by a fine touch of fresh butter.
