We report Cu nuclear-quadrupole-resonance results under pressure on a homogeneous CeCu2Si2 (Tc = 0.65 K) that revealed critical magnetic fluctuations at the border to an antiferromagnetic phase. This exotic superconducting phase evolves into the typical heavy-fermion superconducting phase at minute pressures exceeding Pc ~ 0.2 GPa. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation data in a pressure range 0.85 - 2.58 GPa are shown to be accountable by the SCR theory based on the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi-liquid model. In 0 < P < Pc ~ 0.2 GPa, by contrast, we conclude that the exotic superconducting phase manifests itself under the unconventional normal state where antiferromagnetic waves propagate over a long range without any trace of antiferromagnetic order and thereby the heavy-fermion state breaks up.
