Sweetness

Level 1 of 5 — Dry – no sugar you can taste, just fruit

In line with typical (1.0) · Typical: average of 59 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Sweetness comes from the grape's natural sugar that did not turn into alcohol (residual sugar). A dry wine has almost none; a Port or a late-harvest wine has a lot.

Where you feel it

On the tip of your tongue, right from the first sip, and as a richer, oilier feel in the mouth. Acidity can mask it.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: the wine's label (for example "Brut" or "Off-dry").

It is measured in grams of residual sugar per litre. General EU bands: dry up to about 4 g/L, off-dry up to 12, medium-sweet up to 45, sweet above that. On our scale: under 4 g/L = 1, up to 12 = 2, up to 45 = 3, up to 100 = 4, more = 5.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Dry: no noticeable sugar This wine
  2. 2Off-dry: a touch of sweetness
  3. 3Medium-sweet: clearly sweet
  4. 4Sweet: rich and fruity
  5. 5Very sweet: luscious

In practice, for this wine

Goes with the whole meal, from savoury to mildly spicy. Avoid sweet desserts: they make it taste bitter.

Wine profile · Rosé

Acidity

Level 5 of 5 — Crisp and racy – like freshly squeezed lemon

Above typical (3.8) · Typical: average of 58 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Acidity is the wine's freshness: it gives energy, makes your mouth water and helps the wine age. Too little and it tastes flat; too much and it feels sharp.

Where you feel it

On the sides of your tongue, and in how much your mouth waters after you swallow. The more you salivate, the higher the acidity.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting notes and wine description.

Labs measure total acidity (grams of tartaric acid per litre; most wines sit between 4.5 and 8 g/L) and pH (usually 3.0 to 3.8; the lower, the more acidic). Our scale turns that into how it feels in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: soft, little freshness
  2. 2Medium−: gentle
  3. 3Medium: fresh and balanced
  4. 4Medium+: lively, mouth-watering
  5. 5High: crisp, racy This wine

In practice, for this wine

Ideal with oysters, shellfish, sushi and fried food; it stands up to sharp, salty dishes. Serve cold, great as an aperitif.

Wine profile · Rosé

Body

Level 3 of 5 — Medium and rounded – like whole milk

What it is

Body is the weight and texture of the wine in your mouth. It comes mainly from alcohol, extract (everything dissolved apart from water), glycerol and, in sweet wines, sugar.

Where you feel it

Across the whole tongue: how much the wine fills your mouth. Think skimmed milk, whole milk and cream.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: the typical profile of this type of wine (WSET), as we have no specific data. Estimate

There is no single number for body. Labs measure dry extract (many wines are between 18 and 30 g/L) and alcohol, which WSET says has the biggest effect on body. Our scale rates the weight in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Light: fluid and delicate
  2. 2Medium−: light-ish
  3. 3Medium: rounded This wine
  4. 4Medium+: broad
  5. 5Full: dense and rich

In practice, for this wine

The most versatile middle ground: from salt cod to white meat and pasta.

Wine profile · Rosé

Alcohol 12% vol

Level 2 of 5 — Moderate – a gentle warmth

Below typical (2.9) · Typical: average of 62 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Alcohol is made when yeast ferments the grape's sugar. It brings warmth, adds to the body and carries the aromas.

Where you feel it

As warmth in your throat and chest when you swallow, and a slight burn on the nose when it is high.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: the alcohol stated on the label — On the label: 12% vol.

It is the one axis that is always measured: it comes from the % vol on the label. Still and sparkling wines: under 11% = 1, up to 12.4% = 2, up to 13.4% = 3, up to 14.4% = 4, 14.5% or more = 5. Fortified wines (Port, Madeira…) have their own scale: under 16.5% = 2, up to 18.4% = 3, up to 19.9% = 4, 20% or more = 5.

  3. 3Medium: 12.5–13.4% vol
  4. 4Medium+: 13.5–14.4% vol
  5. 5High: 14.5% vol or more

In practice, for this wine

Light at the table: fish, small plates, summer food.

Description

Deutz Brut Rosé Vintage Millésimé 2018 is a high-end, extremely elegant vintage rosé Champagne made by the prestigious Maison Deutz in Champagne, France. This vintage perfectly balances the structured richness of Pinot Noir with the mineral freshness of Chardonnay.

Deutz Brut Rosé Vintage Millésimé 2018 is made from a blend of two traditional Champagne grapes, with a strong predominance of the red grape:

Pinot Noir (about 78% to 80%): The main grape in the blend, from prestigious terroirs such as Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay. It brings the structure, aromatic complexity and body typical of this sparkling wine. The pink hue comes from adding about 4% to 9% still red wine, also made from old-vine Pinot Noir on the Côte d'Aÿ.

Chardonnay (about 20% to 22%): From Grand Cru areas such as Avize and Bergères-lès-Vertus. It gives the blend perfect balance, bringing freshness, elegance, vibrant acidity and mineral notes.

Deutz Brut Rosé Vintage Millésimé 2018 received 92 points from critic Alison Napjus of the prestigious Wine Spectator, standing out for its elegance and precision.

On tasting it shows a harmonious, refined profile, supported by a satiny mousse and delicate acidity whose finesse is compared to the precision of porcelain. On the palate it shows remarkable aromatic integration, combining notes of peach skin and pink grapefruit sorbet with subtle hints of toast and orchard blossom.

FinishThe finish is long and elegant, marked by distinct minerality and a delicate chalky character that adds complexity.

According to Wine Spectator, this Champagne is drinking beautifully now, while keeping the potential to develop in the cellar until 2033.
