Producer Information: Louis Roederer

Louis Roederer, established in 1776 in Reims at the heart of France’s Champagne region, has built its legacy on family stewardship and a meticulous approach to vineyard ownership. Unlike many houses that source grapes externally, Roederer controls over 240 hectares of prime vineyards across Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, allowing for precise selection and blending. Their philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar to express terroir authenticity. Beyond their iconic Champagnes such as Cristal, Louis Roederer also produces still wines from their Bordeaux estates Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac and Château de Pez in Saint-Estèphe, further cementing their reputation for excellence across France’s most prestigious wine regions.
