Our Story
As one of the few great Champagne houses still
owned by the family that founded it, Louis
Roederer is a leading figure in Champagne
excellence whose reputation shines worldwide.
With nearly 250 years of history, it has
contributed greatly to the global prestige of
Champagne wines, establishing its legend at the
court of the Russian Tsar, creating the first
"prestige cuvée," and implementing cutting-edge
environmental practices for the region.

The History of Louis Roederer Champagne
4
A PHILOSOPHY THAT SEDUCED THE TSARS
The Maison Louis Roederer's history began in 1776
in Reims under the name Dubois Père Fils. It
would not take its definitive name until 1833
when Louis Roederer inherited the Estate from his
uncle and introduced a revolutionary change for
the time managing his vineyard to guarantee the
quality and consistency of his supplies.
In 1908, Nicholas II, grandson of Alexander II,
designated the Maison Louis Roederer as "Official
Supplier to the Court of His Majesty the Emperor"
and authorized it to feature the Tsar's coat of
arms on the bottles they still appear there
today.

EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN
While remaining in the same family during the
19th and 20th centuries, the Maison Louis
Roederer also passed twice into the hands of
charismatic women in 1880, Léonie Olry-Roederer
succeeded her brother Louis Roederer II at the
head of the house, and in 1932, Camille
Olry-Roederer, widow of Léon Olry-Roederer, took
the reins following her husband's death. While
the Estate was in great financial difficulty
following the economic consequences of World War
I, the Russian Revolution, Prohibition in the
United States, and the 1929 crisis, Camille
Olry-Roederer, who would remain in charge for
over 40 years, contributed to restoring all the
splendor to the Maison Louis Roederer.

BIODIVERSITY AT THE SERVICE OF GREAT WINES
Convinced that a great champagne is made in
partnership between Man and Nature, the Louis
Roederer teams have long been committed to
environmental protection, favoring the
preservation of biodiversity and respect for
living things. "We are not artists. The great
artist, with us, is Nature, and we are each year
the interpreters of what she wants to give us,"
emphasizes Frédéric Rouzaud.

Louis Roederer's Champagne Wines

MULTI-VINTAGE WINES
True to the great blending tradition that is
Champagne's DNA, Louis Roederer established the
foundations of its range on its multi-vintage
cuvées, starting with Collection cuvée this
unique signature, rich in nuances from a specific
harvest, is supported by the contribution of
patiently preserved blends in the House's cellars
in a Perpetual Reserve created in 2012, then
sublimated by a wide selection of reserve wines
from previous vintages, matured in French oak
vats.

VINTAGE WINES
All of Louis Roederer's vintage Champagnes are
estate wines made entirely from the Maison's
plots. The "Vintage" cuvée is the flagship of
Louis Roederer's vintages. Made only in the best
years, this cuvée aims to capture the highest
expression of Pinot Noir from the vineyard of "La
Montagne," concentrated around the first vines
purchased by the Maison. It is therefore the
witness of an exceptional vintage, the photograph
of a terroir passed through a slow maturation
that extends over the years.

CRISTAL
Forged by time and a unique chalky terroir,
Cristal is the flagship of Maison Louis Roederer.
Created in 1876 at the special request of Tsar
Alexander II, this exceptional cuvée from 45
plots, mainly Grands Crus, is only produced in
years when maturity reaches perfection. This
powdery, chalky, and luminous champagne is a slow
construction driven by haute couture artisanal
viticulture. Cristal is the ultimate experience,
designed with the idea of revelation over the
long term, which refine with the years to gain in
depth, delicacy of texture, and diversity of
aromas.

BRUT NATURE AND BRUT NATURE ROSÉ
Born from the collaboration between Frédéric
Rouzaud, CEO of Maison Louis Roederer, Cellar
Master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, and designer
Philippe Starck, the "Brut Nature" cuvée aims to
be a fresh champagne made from grapes grown in
the clay soils of Cumières, in a sunny year -
first in 2006, then 2009, 2012, and 2015 - with
no added sugar (zero dosage). The Rosé version
includes a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes,
harvested separately and infused at cold
temperature for a few days without alcoholic
fermentation, before being blended with the Brut
Nature Blanc juice.

HOMMAGE À CAMILLE
In tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer, a daring and
audacious widow who led the Maison from 1932 to
1975, this collection of still Champagnes
explores a different expression of the Champagne
region's terroirs. The Camille Charmont cuvée is
a 100 Pinot Noir from a plot in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ,
named Charmont. The Camille Volibarts is made
from historic old vines from Mesnil-sur-Oger,
exposed to the southeast, with slow and gentle
growth, ideally suited for producing a great
white wine.
