Roederer

Roederer refers to Louis Roederer, a French champagne house based in Reims. It is one of the oldest and most respected houses in the Champagne region and has remained under family ownership for much of its history. The house traces its origins to the late 18th century and grew in reputation for consistent quality and careful aging of its wines. A key milestone was the creation of the Cristal prestige cuvée in 1876, produced at the insistence of Tsar Alexander II of Russia; the bottle’s clear glass was designed to convey the wine’s purity and quality.

Louis Roederer produces a range of non-vintage and vintage champagnes, drawing on a portfolio of estate vineyards and long-standing partnerships with growers across the region. Its non-vintage Brut Premier is widely distributed, while Cristal remains the house’s flagship prestige cuvée, celebrated for its finesse, balance, and aging potential. The style emphasizes elegance and a capacity to age gracefully, with blending that relies on wines from various sites within Champagne.

Today, Roederer exports wines globally and maintains production in Reims, continuing a tradition of family stewardship, vineyard sourcing, and investment in winemaking excellence. The house is regarded for its enduring quality and its influence within the Champagne industry, representing a benchmark for refinement and consistency among luxury sparkling wines.
