New Champagne Deutz and Delas Frères CEO appointed

After 49 years at the Roederer Collection group and 26 years as CEO of Champagne Deutz and Delas Frères, Fabrice Rosset will be stepping down and handing the reins over to former Moët & Chandon CCO Marc Hoellinger.

Frédéric Rouzaud, Roederer Collection group CEO, said: “As the head of Champagne Deutz, Fabrice Rosset has skilfully perpetuated the spirit of the founders while transforming this historic Champagne House, on which he will leave his mark. Delas Frères also owes a great deal to Fabrice, who is an influential figure in the wine world. With his deep commitment, his consummate professionalism, and his irrefutable talent, Fabrice was able to turn these two wine companies, which he headed for a quarter of a century, into undisputed references around the world.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Marc Hoellinger as the new CEO of these two jewels in the Roederer Collection group crown. His long and varied experience working for well-known wine and spirit companies and his dedication to this industry, in which he has become something of an expert, make him the ideal person to take Champagne Deutz and Delas Frères to new heights, continuing along the path of ambitious yet sustainable development,” continued Rouzaud.

Hoellinger previously worked as CEO of The Glenmorangie Company from 2013, before joining Moët & Chandon in 2018. While he joined the Deutz and Delas Frères management team earlier this week, Hoellinger will officially assume the role at the beginning of next year.

Last week, Deutz also announced that Caroline Latrive would become the house’s next cellar master, replacing Michel Davesne who is due to retire in a few months.

Recently, Deutz unveiled its Berceaux Vinothèque, with vintages dating back to 1982.
