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". Champagne Deutz's phenomenal rise 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 make 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 can be added to the Brut Classic to guarantee its characteristic quality.
