The champagne house "Champagne Deutz" was founded in 1838 by two Germans in Aÿ, William Guillaume Deutz (1809-1884) and Peter-Joseph-Hubert Geldermann (1810-1869). Deutz had learnt the trade at the Bollinger champagne house in Aÿ, where he met his partner, who also worked there. At the end of the 1860s, René Deutz and Alfred Geldermann inherited the company from their fathers. Alfred Geldermann later married Marie Deutz, René Deutz's sister, further strengthening the bond.

Changes

In 1882, Deutz was one of the founding members of the "Syndicat des Grandes Marques". By 1900, it was supplying European royal and imperial houses as well as South American state chancelleries. At the beginning of the 20th century, a branch was founded in the Alsatian town of Hagenau, which was then relocated to Breisach am Rhein (Baden) in 1924 under the name "Sektkellerei Deutz & Geldermann". In 1927, Deutz & Geldermann was transformed into a public limited company. In 1988, the company was split into a champagne producer (Champagne Deutz) and a sparkling wine producer (Badische Geldermann Privat-Sektkellerei). The founder's daughter Marie Deutz married Renè Lallier and the Lallier family took over the Geldermann part of the business. Today. The Deutz champagne house has belonged to the Rouzaud family, which also owns the Roederer Group, since 1993.
