Louis Roederer

The largest family-owned Champagne house with a wealth of owned vineyards (nearly 250ha) two-thirds of which are Grand Cru. But the revolution of Roederer is initially in the vineyard with organic and biodynamic principles spreading across the holdings. Chef de cave Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon has steered Roederer through this learning curve for twenty years introducing changes in the vineyards and adopting an approach he calls “a la carte winemaking” in the cellar.

All wines from vintage level up are now made from estate fruit and even the non-vintage wine exceeds 50% ensuring the quality desired throughout the range. The aim is for full ripeness to ensure a clear expression of each vineyard before the blending process begins. Louis Roederer may have lagged behind its reputation last century but is now at the forefront of Champagne houses with a continual philosophy of further improvement which shows in all wines from non-vintage to the prestige Cuvee Cristal.
