Bought directly from Champagne Deutz's UK agent Gonzalez Byers, the bottles are stored in bond at London City Bond Eton Park, in ideal conditions at a constant 13°C. For same-day deliveries, small quantities are kept in our office cellar, where the temperature is maintained between 11–13°C. We source all our bottles directly from the Maison or their official UK office, eliminating the risk of poor storage. This is crucial, as champagne quality is highly sensitive to heat: temperatures above 18°C accelerate maturity significantly, which compromises quality.
Champagne Deutz, located in Ay, one of Champagne’s most historic and renowned terroirs for Pinot Noir, on predominantly south-facing hillsides. The house was founded in 1838 by William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann, two wine merchants from Aix-La-Chapelle. In 1993, Louis Roederer acquired Champagne Deutz and appointed Fabrice Rosset as CEO.
From the late 1990’s, Rosset revitalized the brand, generating substantial income and reinvesting approximately €30 million into the cellars, winery, and infrastructure. Under the leadership of Chef de Cave Michel Davesne, who joined in 2003 and retired in 2023, the quality of Deutz’s wines significantly improved. Production, which was 600,000 bottles in 1996, has grown to 2.5 million bottles and continues to expand.
In 2022, Marc Hoellinger became CEO, ushering Deutz into a new era defined by a commitment to sustainable viticulture. The Maison owns 42 hectares of vineyards and sources additional grapes from growers across 300 hectares, all located within a 30-minute drive of the winery. Uniquely, Deutz produces three prestige cuvées: William Deutz, Amour de Deutz Blanc de Blancs, and Amour de Deutz Rosé. The Blanc de Blancs cuvées are among Champagne’s most refined, renowned for their precision, delicacy, and exceptional finesse. By 2023, the estate had transitioned to 100% organic farming, with certification targeted for 2026.
Deutz Hommage a William Deutz Parcelles d'Ay is created from two estate vineyards adjacent to the house itself in Ay: Cote Glaciere (1.92 ha)and Meurtet (2.42ha) The new creation by CEO Fabrice Rosset is a blend of 100% Pinot Noir and is a hommage to the founder of the house. The last time Champagne Deutz created a Blanc de Noirs was in 1975. Usually the wines from these two vineyards are blended into Deutz's other cuvees, but Michel Davesne was so impressed with it he decided to put it on it's own again. Only 6,000 bottles have been made and only 600 of them to be released in the UK.
Weather: The 2010 harvest was marked by a very cold winter with heavy frost patches. Weather improved in the spring and early summer months with cool and consistent temperatures. However, August and September experienced awful weather with plenty of storms and humid conditions complicating the ripening process.

Champagne Deutz, based in Ay, one of Champagne's historic and most renowned terriors. Founded in 1838 through the association of William Deutz with Pierre-Hubert Geldermann, both wine merchants from Aix-La-Chapelle. Their idea was that to make a great wine, first a great vineyard was needed, so they set off in the search for top local vineyards. Deutz soon became an international brand with Deutz and Geldermann using their knowledge and expertise of markets in their favour. Successors followed suit and tradition and through the 20th Century continued to purchase excellent vineyards in some of Champagnes best villages.
In 1993, Louis Roederer partnered with Deutz to save it from going into financial trouble, with Champagne Louis Roederer's help Deutz has increased production threefold and vastly improved methods and modernising cellars. Fabrice Rosset was the CEO for a thirty year period, 1993-2023. And oversaw a significant expansion and quality improvement. From 2022 Marc Hoellinger took over the role of CEO. Deutz still strives for excellence, terrior and sustainable viticulture.
Caroline Latrive 2022 to present: she was formerly the cellar master at Champagne Ayala, which is just up the road from Champagne Deutz.
Michel Davesne 2003 to 2023 is now retired. He played a pivotal role in guiding Champagne Deutz through a period of rapid expansion. When he joined in 2003, the company was producing 600,000 bottles annually, and by the time of his retirement, production had grown to 2.5 million bottles. Working alongside the now-retired CEO Fabrice Rosset, Deutz invested approximately €30 million in expanding the cellars.
In 2004, the company modernized and expanded its production facilities. A new disgorging line was introduced, boosting capacity to 3,000 bottles per hour, while the incorporation of jetting technology improved both the quality and consistency of the wines. The construction of a new fermentation hall allowed for the addition of new tanks (100-125 hl), enabling the winery to produce wines by village and even parcel, drawing on the estate's diverse vineyard holdings.
By 2011, growing sales prompted further investment. Fermentation capacity was increased from 17,000 hl to 30,000 hl, and additional stainless steel vessels were introduced, ranging from 25 hl to 300 hl, further enhancing the winery’s flexibility and production capabilities.
Annual production: 2,500,000 bottles

“The 2010 William Deutz Parcelles d'Aÿ is the most tightly wound wine in this range. Green apple, lemon peel and white flowers add brightness, but on the palate the wine is extremely unyielding. I would prefer to cellar the 2010 for at least a few years. There is not much pleasure to be had today.”

“Deutz’s 2010 Brut Parcelles d’Aÿ is a gorgeous 100% Pinot Noir that expresses the natural creaminess of Aÿ and the Duetz house style. Pear, citrus, baked apple, white flowers, almonds and light pastry notes are all vivid. The bright, finely sketched style imbues the 2010 with notable energy and a level of pure vibrancy that will make it hard to resist, even on the young side. ”

“The nose was very fresh, it had something of frosted plum and a green touch of conifer. The body is slender and one feels this still needs time to round out. Remembering Rosset’s words of the vicissitudes of 2010, this may take time to come out of its shell. But the quiet, understated house has started a fine new wine that will enable it to showcase its very own home turf and history in the coming years.”
One of only a handful of Prestige Cuvee Blanc de Blancs is Amour de Deutz Blanc de Blancs, not on everyone’s radar, just yet, Champagne Deutz at the heart of Pinot Noir country in Ay, bring this delicate blend of BdB from 96% Côte des Blancs, bringing that chalky mineral fruit with a touch of tropical from Villers-Marmery.
