Reigning over a vineyard of 240 hectares classified on sumptuous terroirs in Premiers Crus and Grands Crus, the House Louis Roederer has never ceased to offer generous Champagnes that embellish all occasions.
The House of Roederer: a family heritage
It was in 1833 that Louis Roederer inherited his uncle's house: the house of Champagne Dubois Père et Fils in Reims, which he had founded in 1776. From then on, he chose to take the habits and customs of the region in hand and showed great concern for controlling all the stages of production of his Champagne. At the time, marketing was the business of the wine merchants, while the vineyard belonged entirely to the winegrowers. Thus, in 1845, Louis Roederer bought about fifteen hectares of vineyards classified as Grand Cru and acquired the status of winemaker-negociant in order to reconcile the two trades.

From then on, he chose to take the habits and customs of the region in hand and showed great concern for controlling all the stages of production of his Champagne.

Thus, in 1845, Louis Roederer bought about fifteen hectares of vineyards classified as Grand Cru and acquired the status of winemaker-negociant in order to reconcile the two trades.
In 1876, Louis Roederer II, who succeeded his father following his death in 1870, created at the request of Tsar Alexander II a special vintage for the exclusive consumption of the Tsars of Russia, the famous Cuvée Cristal. Fearing that he might be the target of an attack and that a political opponent might conceal an explosive in the bottom of the bottle, he wanted this cuvée to be free of explosives. Thus, the Cuvée Cristal is today the only bottle of Champagne to have a flat bottom. Then in 1908, Tsar Nicholas II granted the Roederer House the title of "Official Supplier to the Court of His Majesty the Emperor".
The House has continued to grow under the watchful eye of successive generations. The vineyard is now managed according to the principles of biodynamics, and the house never ceases to take steps to address climatic and ecological issues. The vineyard extends today on 240 hectares distributed on the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des blancs. Pinot Noir is the majority.
