Initially founded as Dubois Père & Fils in 1776, Louis Roederer inherited the company from his uncle in 1833, renamed it eponymously, and took a visionary approach to enriching his vines, aiming to master every stage of the wine’s creation. In the mid-19th century, Louis Roederer acquired some of Champagne’s grand cru vineyards—an approach that contrasted sharply with contemporary practices. While other houses purchased their grapes, Louis Roederer nurtured his vineyards, familiarized himself with the specific characteristics of each parcel, and methodically acquired the finest land. Louis Roederer’s guiding principle was that all great wine depends on the quality of the soil, a passion for tradition, and an astute vision of the future. The fame and reputation of the House of Louis Roederer was firmly established.

Jean-Claude Rouzaud, grandson of Camille Olry Roederer, inherited the business in 1979. His son, Frédéric Rouzaud, has been at the helm of the company since 2006. 

Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the few family-owned independent champagne houses today.
