Description

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II of Russia asked the Roeder family to create an exclusive cuvée in his honour. An extraordinary masterpiece of balance, right from the start, this champagne owes much to the limestone subsoil and concentration of the ancient vineyards of the Domaine Louis Roeder from which it comes. Presented to the Tsar in a crystal bottle, it will henceforth be called 'Cristal'.

Louis Roederer is a Champagne house based in Reims, France. It was founded in 1776, and has been owned by the property of the Rouzaud family since 1819, which makes it one of the few major Champagne houses to be family owned. It is most famous for producing the premium champagne Cristal. Tsar Nicholas II nominated Louis Roederer as the official wine supplier to the Imperial Court of Russia, and it thus became known as the 'Champagne of the Tsars'. The Russian Revolution and Prohibition in the United States caused the company to lose major ground during the early 20th century, though it quickly re-established itself during the Great Depression as an eminent wine-producer.

Origin A passion for great wines and a desire to compensate for the limits that the "château policy" naturally imposes on the development of Louis Roederer Champagne have, over the years, driven Jean Claude and then Frédéric Rouzaud to acquire an exclusive group of properties around the Champagne House in Reims which, although managed truly independently, share the same philosophy of excellence, and today make up the "Louis Roederer Group". It comprises Roederer Estate and Scharffenberger, both in California, Champagne Deutz and Maison Delas in the Rhone Valley, Ramos Pinto and its vineyards in Douro, Portugal, Les Domaines Ott* in Provence, and Château de Pez and Château Haut Beauséjour in Bordeaux (Saint Estéphe), which were joined at the end of 2006 by Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (Pauillac) and Château Bernadotte (Haut Médoc). Louis Roederer also has an equal share with the Duclot Group in the Maison Descaves in Bordeaux.
