Champagne LOUIS ROEDERER

The house belongs to the same family since its foundation in Reims in 1776, and to date, it remains one of the great Champagne houses still independent. In 1876, Louis Roederer’s son, who succeeded his father, created the Cristal Cuvée for the Tsar Alexander II.

It uses a Flemish glass master that designs an exceptional crystal bottle, so strong that it allows the bottom’s bottle to be flat. Thus was born the cuvée Cristal, the first cuvée de prestige of champagne.   In 1909, the champagne house became the Official Supplier to the Imperial Court of Russia by Nicolas II.  

From its size, its diversity and quality, the vineyards of Louis Roederer is certainly the main asset that founds house’s policy, ensuring its independence and the control of its champagne’s style. Its 244 acres are exclusively located in the Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of the three Champagne region. Reflecting the house’s spirit of perfection, the Louis Roederer’s style is based on precision, patience and attention to details. Louis Roederer has its own policy regarding the aging length of its champagne, well above the rules and requirements of the Champagne region habits: 3 ½ years for Brut Premier, 5 years for the vintages, and 6 years for Cristal.  

This spirit of perfection is common to the different cuvées (Brut champagne, Brut Vintage, Blanc de Blancs vintage champagne, vintage rosé champagne and of course the Cristal and Cristal Rosé). Various shades characterizing its champagnes confer them a true tasting pleasure: very fine bubbles, the taste of the wine that combines the fruitiness and freshness, their flexible structure, highlighted by a delicate vinosity flavor to end up with a feeling of fullness.  

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.

  1. Biodynamic certification (Demeter)
Some of the estate's vineyards, notably those in Cumières, are certified biodynamic according to Demeter standards. This approach aims to enhance soil and plant vitality by following specific farming practices.

  1. Robert Parker Green Emblem
In 2021, Louis Roederer received the Robert Parker Green Emblem, an international distinction awarded to wineries demonstrating outstanding commitment to sustainable viticulture and the protection of biodiversity. This recognition underscores the House's ongoing efforts to adopt environmentally-friendly practices.

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.
