In 1838, William Deutz and Peter Geldermann founded their own business called
"Deutz & Geldermann", which split in 1988, becoming "Champagne Deutz" and the
"Badische Geldermann Privat-Sektkellerei". The phenomenal rise of Champagne
Deutz began when Louis Roederer took over the company in 1993, and since then it
has continued to build its reputation as a renowned champagne brand. Today,
around 30 hectares of vines are cultivated, 10 of which are located in Les
Menil-sur-Oger. The grape varieties used to produce their champagnes include
Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and, of course, Chardonnay.

The Deutz Brut Classic is made up of equal parts of these three main grape
varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Depending on the vintage,
20% to 40% reserve wines may be added to the Brut Classic to ensure its
characteristic quality.
