Champagne Louis Roederer

Established in 1776 by Mr. Dubois and his son, the house experienced a period of growth under the direction of Louis Roederer, who ran the company from 1832 to 1870, propelling it to the ranks of the greatest Champagne houses. This prestigious reputation as supplier to the Tsar was maintained with remarkable regularity. Rather than buying grapes, Louis Roederer preferred to invest in the acquisition of vineyards, meticulously selecting the best plots. In 1876, his son created the first "prestige vintage" of champagne for Tsar Alexander II, which he named Cristal. This tradition was continued with Léon Olry Roederer, then with his wife Camille from 1933, and finally with his grandson Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who undertook a redesign of the vineyard. Since 2006, the Rouzaud family, represented by Frédéric, the seventh generation of the line, has been at the head of Roederer champagnes. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, who has held the positions of deputy general manager and cellar master since 1999, has helped to maintain the excellence of the house. The vineyard has been cultivated according to the principles of biodynamics for more than twenty years, with half already certified organic and biodynamic, while the rest benefits from the HVE-3 label.
