Champagne Deutz Brut Classic Coffret

As always fascinating, the history of the Maison Deutz began in 1838. We are in Ay, one of the most characteristic villages in the Champagne region. William Deutz and Pierre Geldermann, who came from Aquisgarana in Germany, settled here with the declared aim of producing great wines (and they should), starting with particularly suitable vineyards. Therefore, in the same year, they bought a first plot of land and started to produce grapes, vinifying them in their cellar. William Deutz, an expert in cultivation and winemaking, had had past experience at Bollinger. Pierre Geldermann, on the other hand, took care of the financial and commercial side of the Maison. Over the years, Maison Deutz expanded its activities, acquiring new cru, both around Ay and in the Côte des Blancs. Today, it produces around 600,000 bottles a year, either from its own vineyards or by purchasing grapes from experienced local growers who are able to guarantee the impeccable quality of their product. Maison Deutz sold part of its capital, about 60%, to Louis Roederer, which ensured major new investments and a thorough renovation of the cellar, which is now super modern, state-of-the-art technology. For the delicate stage of maturation, however, the wines are still placed in the beautiful cellar, which is entirely below ground level, up to 60 metres deep.
