The Louis Roederer champagne house has been creating wines for over two centuries. The house has remained an independent, family-owned company and is now managed by Frédéric Rouzaud, who represents the seventh generation of the lineage. They are one of the last independently owned Champagne houses. Louis Roederer II fashioned an exclusive champagne for the Tsar Alexander II of Russia and launched a novel concept: the very first Cuvée de Prestige. It was created in 1876 and named ‘Cristal’. Ever since, the elegance and grace of Cristal continues to forge Louis Roederer’s reputation for excellence. The crafting of a fine champagne requires a slow rhythm, patience and restraint. Time is the ultimate luxury. The time to patiently blend components, to choose a better path, the time to share experience and work together towards the creation of outstanding champagnes from unique terroirs.
