Champagne Louis Roederer

Louis Roederer distinguishes itself from other Champagne brands by its relentless pursuit of excellence, reflected in its culture of reasoned viticulture, its preference for Pinot Noir grapes, and its partial malolactic fermentation, testifying to its attention to detail.

Maison Louis Roederer’s CSR policy is unequivocal, committed to sustainable agricultural practices, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preserving biodiversity and using lighter bottles to minimize the environmental impact of its shipments. Roederer is also committed to promoting ethical practices among its employees, as well as the well-being of local communities.

Louis Roederer cuvées are mainly made from three noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Pinot Noir, the House’s signature grape variety, is omnipresent, bringing structure, depth and complexity to the wines, while Chardonnay adds freshness and elegance, and Pinot Meunier, roundness and softness.

Ageing Louis Roederer champagnes is a demanding art that varies from cuvée to cuvée. The Cuvée Collection is aged for three years, the Brut and Rosé Vintage for a minimum of 4 years, the Blanc de Blancs for 5 years and the Cuvée de prestige Cristal for over 6 years.

The emblematic cuvées of the Louis Roederer brand bear witness to the rigor of their elaboration, with pride of place given to the cuvée Collection, the house’s emblem, synonymous with balance and freshness. Cuvée Vintage, made from a single exceptional harvest, is available in white and rosé, while Cuvée Cristal, the house’s prestige cuvée, is only produced in the most exceptional years.

The most famous wine of the House of Louis Roederer was born in 1876 to satisfy the demanding taste of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asked Louis Roederer to reserve for him each year the best vintage of the House, which he particularly appreciated. To accentuate its singularity, this exceptional champagne will be packaged in a flat-bottomed crystal bottle. This cuvée is a jewel of complexity and elegance, with its subtle aromas of white flowers, citrus and dried fruit, its rich, deep flavor revealing notes of honey, walnut and brioche.

Louis Roederer cuvées evoke multiple flavors and aromas, from fresh fruit to spicy and toasty notes, depending on the cuvée and the Vintage. Cuvée Collection reveals aromas of green apple and pear, while Cuvée Cristal stands out for its complexity, with notes of hazelnut, honey and brioche.

Louis Roederer champagnes go perfectly with a wide variety of dishes, from seafood to poultry and mild cheeses. Cuvée Cristal, for its part, goes particularly well with rich, spicy dishes such as lobster with vanilla, foie gras and top-of-the-range sushi.
