About the wine

Louis Roederer is one of the few champagne houses that has been family-owned since its founding in 1776. Champagne Louis Roederer's largest asset lies in the 242 hectares of its own vines - in the best locations in Champagne - harmoniously distributed over the three most important production areas: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. The plots of the vineyards are rated at 98% Grand Cru on average and cover two thirds of the house's grape requirements. The jewel of the Louis Roederer house is the Cristal cuvée. It was created in 1876 specifically for Tsar Alexander II. The grapes come exclusively from the 10 best locations in the Louis Roederer vineyard. They are rated 100% Grand Cru and come from vines that are at least 25 years old.
