Over time, a relationship grew, founded on mutual respect, trust and a shared passion for oenology.\n\nThe years passed.\n\nFrom 2003 to 2023, Michel Davesne guided the identity of Deutz Champagnes, affirming that pursuit of balance, depth and harmony which defines the House style.\n\nWhen the question of succession arose, Caroline Latrive emerged as the natural choice. Her experience, her understanding of Champagne's terroirs and her sensitivity made her the obvious heir to this living legacy.\n\nFor fourteen months, the two oenologists worked side by side. Together, they tasted the House's wines, revisited past vintages, exchanged perspectives, and shared both convictions and, at times, doubts.\n\nLittle by little, a shared language emerged.\n\nA way of reading terroirs.\n\nOf understanding wines.\n\nOf anticipating their evolution.\n\nSometimes, a glance was enough.",{"type":32,"leftImage":16,"leftImageAlt":26,"leftCaption":26,"rightImage":33,"rightImageAlt":26,"rightCaption":26},"dualImageBlock","\u002Fuploads\u002Fdeutz-journal_a_quatre_mains_03.jpg",{"type":24,"leftImage":26,"leftImageAlt":26,"leftTitle":26,"leftCaption":26,"content":35},[36],{"type":29,"heading":26,"text":37,"ctaLabel":26,"ctaLink":26},"To the legacy entrusted by Michel Davesne, Caroline Latrive brings a particular focus on purity of balance, luminosity in blending and the most faithful expression of each terroir.\n\nThat spirit of transmission finds a tangible expression in the Brut Classic crafted from the 2022 harvest.\n\nCrafted four-handed, the cuvée embodies both the culmination of a shared endeavour and the opening of a new chapter.

A childhood memory, a market alive with colour and scent, the fragrance of orange blossom discovered on a journey, the first light of dawn in the vineyards... All these sensations nourish our memory and our sensibility. They accompany us, often without us even realising it.” Caroline Latrive\n\nTo this sensory memory is added the memory of the wines themselves.\n\nSince the harvest, the still wines have continued to evolve in the quiet of the cellars at Maison Deutz. Month after month, the Cellar Master observes them, tastes them and allows them to reveal themselves. At Deutz, time is an integral part of the creative process. Each wine must be given the freedom to fully express its personality before blending.\n\nCreation often begins with an attention to what has yet to reveal its true shape.\n\nThen comes the blending.\n\n“Each year, we begin with a blank page. With more than 200 still wines, each carrying its own expression, the possibilities are almost endless. That is what makes the exercise as fascinating as it is demanding. We don’t move in a straight line. We try, we question, we sometimes go back to an idea we had set aside. We have to accept that we may not be right immediately. The wines often require us to rethink our certainties.”\nCaroline Latrive\n\nWhile the Cellar Master own the final decision, the savoir-faire is also shaped by expertise shared and passed down through generations.\n\nToday, the process remains deeply collective. Around the Tasting Committee table, perspectives meet, experiences complement one another, and memories of a terroir or a particular parcel enrich the discussion. Little by little, the vast field of possibilities narrows until everything falls into place.\n\nThis patient work eventually finds its point of balance: the moment when the Deutz style is instantly recognisable, while remaining, each year, subtly different.\n\nThe final blend reveals the true identity of Brut Classic: precise, refined and silky as a caress, it expresses with remarkable consistency that alliance of purity and harmony which defines the House style. A refined signature where crystalline freshness, aromatic complexity and voluptuous texture come together.\n\nDeutz Brut Classic.
