The Deutz Maison was founded in Aÿ in 1838 by two Prussians, William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann, Deutz. For over a century and a half, the management of the enterprise remained within the hands of the descendants of the two founders. They consistently preserved the distinctive style of the house while actively acquiring vineyards in the prestigious great and premier crus of the Champagne region.
In 1993, Louis Roederer acquired Deutz, and four years later Fabrice Rousset was appointed to head it up. This moment has positively influenced developing dynamic of the winery. Fabrice Rousset’s philosophy was to maintain high grape quality, the majority of which come from the Grands Crus or Premiers Crus of Champagne. Subsequently, Deutz has transitioned to environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices, prioritizing reduced yields.
The primary grape variety employed is Pinot Noir. Through the utilization of this grape variety, they have crafted a distinctive style of cuvées, now recognized as their signature “William Deutz” cuvée, named after one of the company’s founders.
Having consistently upheld high standards in champagne production over the years, Deutz has emerged as a major competitor in the Champagne market, impressing customers with prestigious, elegant, and timeless Champagnes.
