Celebrating 50 Years of Cristal Rosé
A highlight of this achievement is the 50th anniversary of Cristal Rosé, the House’s iconic cuvée first crafted in 1974 by Jean-Claude Rouzaud. To mark the occasion, a vertical tasting of Cristal Rosé’s finest vintages was held at La Tour d’Argent in Paris and other prestigious venues worldwide — a fitting tribute to the exceptional longevity of this legendary Champagne.
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer remains one of the last great family-owned Champagne Houses. Its historic vineyards span 250 hectares, including 135 hectares certified organic, a testament to the House’s deep-rooted connection to the land. Under the guidance of cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Louis Roederer continues to balance tradition with innovation — a rare recipe for sustained excellence in the world of Champagne.
