Established at the end of the eighteenth century, Louis Roederer is one of the last great Champagne houses to remain independent and family-run. The estate was inherited by Louis Roederer in 1833, who gave it his name and forged the wine’s unique style, character and taste. Under his visionary leadership the fame and reputation of the house of Louis Roederer was firmly established.

Louis Roederer’s champagnes all share an attractive and direct expression and a dense, fresh, and sophisticated attack that develops into a sparkling and subtle bouquet. This is complemented by vivacious effervescence and delicious acidity. These sunny, pure, chiselled, and harmonious wines have a natural gift for creating pleasure: each wine has a unique way of embodying Louis Roederer’s distinctive style and constant quest for perfection.

In 1668 zou Dom Pérignon ontdekt hebben hoe mousserende wijn gemaakt moet worden; vandaag de dag wordt zijn techniek over de hele wereld gebruikt, hoewel Champagne nog steeds een aantal van de beste wijnen produceert. Champagne, de meest noordelijke wijnregio van Frankrijk, is nu de thuisbasis van 15.000 telers en 290 'huizen'. Meestal is een mix van druivensoorten vereist: witte Chardonnay om fruit en elegantie toe te voegen, en twee rode - Pinot Noir en Pinot Meunier - om body en ruggengraat te bieden.
