Champagne Louis Roederer
The history of this famous house of champagne began in 1776. But it was only in 1833, that the house took the name of Louis Roederer. The family Roederer had faced the U.S. prohibition of 1919, the crisis of 1929 and the two world wars. Jean-Claude Rouzaud, grand-son of Orly-Roederer, inherited the field in 1979. Since 2006, Fred Rouzaud has directed this family business, still independent today.
The Champagne Louis Roederer has been known throughout the world for many years. Indeed, Louis Roederer had, at his time, understood the importance of the international market, and especially the monarchies. The Tsar Alexander II of Russia, big fan of champagne Roederer, asked his private cellar master, to go in France to participate to the development of a special vintage in his honor. A Flemish master of glasses produced, at this occasion, a bottle of non-tinted crystal with flat bottom, to distinguish the vintage of the tsar to the other consumers of Roederer champagnes: the famous cuv?e prestige "Cristal" was born. The house Roederer had been, indeed, "the official supplier of the Imperial Court of Russia" for many years.
