One of the last great independent and family-run Champagne houses, Louis Roederer has spent nearly two centuries refining its craft, rooted in a deep respect for the land and a meticulous approach to winemaking. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the House chose to cultivate and expand its own vineyards, ensuring complete control over quality and character. This dedication led to the creation of Cristal in 1876, the first-ever prestige cuvée, originally crafted for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Today, under the leadership of the seventh generation, Louis Roederer continues to produce wines of precision and elegance, guided by both tradition and a forward-thinking commitment to sustainability.
