SC- Louis Roederer Collection 243 Brut
Established in 1776 in Reims, France, Champagne Louis Roederer stands out as one of the few family-owned enterprises still overseen by the Roederer family. Louis Roederer, who assumed leadership in 1833 after inheriting the business from his uncle, rebranded it with his own name. His tenure marked a period of rapid expansion while maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality. Presently, Jean-Claude Rouzaud and his son Frédéric steer the company, upholding its tradition of prioritizing quality over quantity.
Renowned for its premier vineyards, Champagne Louis Roederer distinguishes itself as one of the primary proprietors, owning nearly 75 percent of the grapes from the most coveted vineyards in Champagne. Spanning 450 acres across the finest locales of Montagne de Reims, Côtes des Blancs, and Valleé de la Marne, each site is meticulously chosen to cultivate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes that epitomize the elegance necessary for impeccably balanced champagne. Consistently earning an average rating of 98 percent on France’s 100-point classification scale, the Louis Roederer vineyards exemplify excellence in winemaking.
