"New style!"

"The first impression is as invigorating as a sea breeze. I love the interplay between mirabelle plum, grapefruit and lychee, the minty freshness and the waxed character due to contact with the lees. All this is welded together on a beautifully proportioned, highly structured palate, with lively acidity and lively mousse. The very salty finish keeps you coming back for more." (James Suckling 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2024 guide) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)

About the domain :

Founded in Reims in 1776, it is one of the few major Champagne houses still owned by the founding family. It was the first to invest in natural vineyard care and environmental awareness. The result is a heritage of exceptional sincerity, driven by a vision of the future that commands respect. 126 hectares of Louis Roederer's 242 hectares are managed biodynamically, the rest are HVE and VDC certified. Frédéric Rouzaud, 7th generation of the family line, continues this incredible ascent. Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon, eminent cellar master, never ceases to impress with the wines he produces. In constant research, in the vineyard, in the vat room and in the cellar, he continues his quest for excellence with the determination to share it with all the wines. A model and an inspiration.

About the domain :

A house born in Reims in 1776. Louis Roederer became owner in 1833, expanded the business and acquired vineyards. In the 1870s, the house, which delivers 2.5 million bottles, has as its main customer Russia, where Tsar Alexander II asks Louis Roederer to create a prestigious champagne: the famous Cuvée Cristal is launched (1876). With 240 hectares of vineyards (1er cru and grand cru) accounting for 2/3 of its supplies, the company is still run by the descendants of its founders. The latest, Frédéric Rouzaud, now heads a group that owns Champagnes Deutz and numerous prestige crus, from the Médoc to Provence, from Portugal to California.

Domain rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)

About the domain :

This is one of Champagne's finest standard-bearers. This family-run estate boasts a vineyard of 420 plots, the majority of which are Pinot Noir and 70% of which are classified as Grand Cru. Viticulture is a real priority here, notably through the transition to biodynamic viticulture. Soil cultivation is becoming the norm. Only such an exceptional vineyard can explain the unique level of harmony and concentration in such large volumes. It's no coincidence that the cellar master, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, is not only an oenologist but also an agronomist, like Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who built the current empire of the great Roederer international vineyards. He handed over the reins of the group to his son, Frédéric Rouzaud, current Chairman, at an early age. Here, malolactic fermentation is only partial and random (between 25% and 50%). The juices are worked on their lees in vats and oak barrels, to give them thickness.
