THE BRAND

Established in 1776 by Mr. Dubois and his son, the house flourished under the leadership of Louis Roederer, who ran the business from 1832 to 1870, propelling it to the ranks of the greatest Champagne houses. This prestigious reputation as supplier to the Tsar was maintained with remarkable consistency. Rather than purchasing grapes, Louis Roederer preferred to invest in acquiring vineyards, meticulously selecting the best plots. In 1876, his son created the first "prestigious cuvée" of Champagne for Tsar Alexander II, which he named Cristal. This tradition continued with Léon Olry Roederer, then with his wife Camille from 1933, and finally with his grandson Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who undertook an overhaul of the vineyard. Since 2006, the Rouzaud family, represented by Frédéric, the seventh generation of the lineage, has been at the helm of Roederer champagnes. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, who has held the positions of deputy general manager and cellar master since 1999, contributes to maintaining the house's excellence. The vineyard has been cultivated according to biodynamic principles for over twenty years, with half already certified organic and biodynamic, while the rest benefits from the HVE-3 label.
