One of the most significant moments in Roederer's history was when Tsar Alexander II of Russia asked Louis Roederer II to create a special cuvée for his imperial court. The champagne created, which later became the famous Cuvée Cristal, was presented in a transparent crystal bottle, so that the Tsar could see its contents and ensure that it contained no poison. This association with the Russian imperial court greatly contributed to Roederer's reputation at the time. Over the decades, Louis Roederer continued to innovate and develop. It remained a family business, passing from generation to generation. Today, the seventh generation of the Rouzaud family runs the business, carrying on the traditions and excellence inherited from Louis Roederer II.

Louis Roederer is recognised the world over for the exceptional quality of its champagnes. The house's emblematic cuvées include Cristal, Brut Premier and Rosé Vintage. Each wine is produced with care, using traditional techniques and respecting the terroirs of origin. The story of Louis Roederer is the story of a prestigious champagne house that has combined tradition and innovation to create some of the world's best-loved champagnes.
