The Vineyard:

Champagne Louis Roederer, founded in 1776, remains one of the very rare family Champagne businesses. For two centuries, six succeeding generations have been inspired by the same concern for quality.

Frederic Rouzaud took up the reins in early 2006 from his father Jean-Claude Rouzaud who remains Chairman of the Board. Jean-Claude, grandson of Madame Camille Olry-Roederer and himself a trained Oenologist had led the company for 38 years, and is referred to as the ‘Sage’ of Champagne (the wise man of Champagne).

Frederic has spent the past 10 years working with his father in all areas of production and business and will bring his great business acumen and academic background to the company.

Louis Roederer's fundamental advantage lies in its superb 190-hectare vineyard (470 acres) which, on average, rates 97.5% on the offi cial classifi cation scale, and covers the Pinot Noir regions of "Montagne de Reims" and "Valley de la Marne" with Chardonnay from the "Cotes des Blanc".
