Founded in the late eighteenth century, the Louis Roederer Champagne House is one of the last independent, family-run Champagne estates. In 1833, it was inherited by Louis Roederer, who set about enriching the house with a unique new style, achieved through a certain spirit and flavour in his wines. He did this by studying the specific characteristics of each plot, gradually expanding the estate with carefully chosen new parcels. Louis Roederer moved against the customs of the time, believing that great champagne finds its source in the soil. Combining his passion for wine and love of tradition, the founder carved out a great legacy for the famous estate, which has born his name ever since.
