Champagne Deutz was founded in Aÿ in 1838 by William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann, two wine merchants from Aix-la-Chapelle. In 1882, the house became a founding member of the Syndicat des Grandes Marques, the association whose rules effectively established the model for France's wine appellation system. An extensive network of chalk cellars runs beneath the village of Aÿ, where the wines are aged slowly and carefully. The house sources from around 300 hectares across Champagne's finest crus and, since 1993, has been part of the Rouzaud family's portfolio alongside Louis Roederer. The wines are characterised by finesse, elegance and complexity, a style that has defined the house for nearly two centuries.
