History and anecdotes
La Maison Roederer, founded in 1776, is one of the last Champagne houses still owned by the founding family. In 1833, Louis Roederer inherited the house from his uncle and gave it his name. Contrary to the trend of the time, he decided to buy new parcels of vines in order to better control the elaboration of his cuvées. The iconic Cuvée Cristal was created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia.
