Louis Roederer Champagne

Founded in 1776 in Reims, the Maison Louis Roederer was taken over in 1833 by Louis Roederer, who revolutionized Champagne viticulture by acquiring his own vineyards, notably on Grands Crus land, to control the entire production process. This innovative approach has enabled the House to produce champagnes of exceptional quality, reinforcing its international reputation.

Maison Louis Roederer has remained an independent, family-run business, handed down from generation to generation since the 19th century. Currently headed by Frédéric Rouzaud, representing the seventh generation, Maison Louis Roederer has preserved its independence to maintain a long-term vision focused on quality, innovation and respect for terroir.

Maison Louis Roederer is actively committed to sustainable viticulture that respects the environment. In 2021, 115 hectares of its historic vineyard became eligible for organic certification, with grapes from the 2021 harvest bearing the "AB" label.

In addition, the House has adopted biodynamic practices for part of its vineyard, making it the largest biodynamic estate in Champagne. This approach aims to enhance soil vitality and biodiversity, while producing high-quality grapes.

These environmental commitments are concretely reflected in their cuvées, notably with Cristal 2012, the first vintage concerned.

The Louis Roederer vineyard covers 250 hectares spread over 410 parcels in the prestigious Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs regions. These lands, classified as Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, enable the House to control the quality of its grapes and produce exceptional champagnes.

Maison Louis Roederer produces around 3 million bottles of champagne a year, distributed worldwide. This controlled production guarantees consistent quality and reflects the House's commitment to excellence.

Maison Louis Roederer is resolutely committed to sustainable viticulture, as demonstrated by several prestigious certifications and labels obtained in recent years. Here is a detailed overview of these recognitions:

1 - Organic Agriculture (AB) certification

Since the 2021 harvest, 115 hectares of Louis Roederer vineyards have been officially certified as organic. This certification attests to the absence of the use of synthetic phytosanitary products and chemical fertilizers on these plots.

2 - High Environmental Value - Level 3 (HVE3)

The entire vineyard, covering some 250 hectares, is certified HVE level 3, the highest level of this French certification. It recognizes farming practices that respect the environment, in particular the preservation of biodiversity, water management and the reduction of inputs.

These certifications reflect Louis Roederer's deep commitment to environmentally-friendly viticulture, combining tradition and innovation to preserve the quality of its champagnes and the health of its terroirs.

Created in 1876 at the request of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, Cuvée Cristal is the first prestige cuvée in the history of champagne. It was distinguished by its flat-bottomed crystal bottle at the time and its composition from the finest Grands Crus grapes, offering unrivalled aromatic complexity and elegance.

For optimum preservation, we recommend storing bottles of Louis Roederer champagne in a dark place, at a constant temperature of between 10°C and 15°C, and with a humidity level of 60-80%. Bottles should be laid flat to keep the cork moist and prevent oxidation.

The ideal temperature for tasting a Louis Roederer champagne cuvée is between 9°C and 12°C. This temperature range allows the aromas and finesse of the bubbles to be fully revealed, offering an optimal tasting experience.
