A pillar of Champagne excellence, Maison Louis Roederer embodies—perhaps more than any other—the highest expression of this magical wine’s cultural refinement. It also remains one of the few great houses still independently run by a direct descendant of its founding family.
A driving force in the transformation of Champagne viticulture, Louis Roederer has long focused its energy on the vineyard, embracing organic farming and gentle, sustainable practices well ahead of the curve. Over half of its 250 hectares are now certified organic, with many parcels also following principles inspired by permaculture.
This uncompromising pursuit of perfection and Roederer’s forward-thinking approach to flavor and farming are the focus of an in-depth feature in the latest issue of our magazine Racines, which pays tribute to this remarkable Champagne artisan.
