Champagne Louis Roederer, renowned for its dedication to preserving biodiversity and crafting exceptional champagnes, has been honored with the significant recognition of being selected as one of the Top 100 Premium Wine & Spirits Brands of the World by Luxury Lifestyle Awards for the year 2023.

LLA has acknowledged Champagne Louis Roederer for its long-standing commitment to sustainability, responsible agronomic practices, and the preservation of its historical plant heritage. This accolade celebrates the House’s tireless efforts to maintain biodiversity and produce exceptional champagnes rooted in tradition, expertise, and a profound respect for nature.

Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master at Champagne Louis Roederer, underscored the significance of preserving biodiversity in winemaking, stating, “In the 21st century, the battle is for Nature: respect for the land has never been so vital. It means lending the vine greater resilience, recreating as much diversity as possible, enriching the ecosystem with different species, and charting our own course.”

For over two decades, Louis Roederer has been at the forefront of championing sustainable and responsible winegrowing practices, meticulously safeguarding the diversity of its plant heritage. The House’s commitment to biodiversity preservation extends through various practices, including massal selection to conserve genetic diversity, sustainable viticulture techniques, and the integration of beehives, fruit trees, and hedgerows within their vineyards.

“We had to regenerate the plant material and recover some of the singularity of our style through massal selection,” explained Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, emphasizing the House’s dedication to preserving its unique winemaking identity.

Louis Roederer’s journey towards sustainability began in the late 1990s, leading to the development of an innovative conservation scheme for its plant heritage, a pioneering initiative within France’s viticultural landscape.

Frédéric Rouzaud, CEO of Champagne Louis Roederer, stated the importance of this recognition: “We are honored to be recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards. This award highlights our continuous commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship, rooted in a deep appreciation for nature and its contribution to crafting exceptional champagnes.”

The award-winning Cristal, Louis Roederer’s iconic champagne, epitomizes a perfect blend of power and delicacy, marrying subtlety with precision. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, Cristal represents the ultimate harmony between purity and elegance. Its remarkable balance, silky texture, and enduring freshness make it a sought-after choice for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs worldwide.

Champagne Louis Roederer stands as one of the last great independent and family-run champagne houses, embodying a legacy of visionary winemaking that dates back to 1776. Today, under the stewardship of the seventh generation represented by Frédéric Rouzaud, the House continues its commitment to crafting exceptional champagnes that honor tradition, quality, and the environment.
