Champagne Deutz, one of the founding members of the Association des Grand Marques, was established in 1838 by William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann. The house is based in Aÿ, the oldest renowned cru in the Champagne winegrowing region. Apart from extensive highly rated vineyards owned by the house itself, the present ownership, the Louis Roederer Group, is strengthening the company’s relations with vignerons in the best crus, ensuring that all of them constantly adhere to the viticultural practices.
