Champagne Deutz - Elegant grandeur from Aÿ
Maison Deutz was founded in 1838 by William Deutz and Pierre-Hubert Geldermann in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ. Now owned by Louis Roederer, it processes grapes from around 80% Premier and Grand Cru vineyards and produces champagne using traditional, steel-based vinification :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
