The House was founded in 1776, but it only took its current name in 1833, when Louis Roederer took over the champagne house. Since then, Louis Roederer has been one of the last great family-owned and independent Champagne Houses, today led by Frédéric Rouzaud, who represents the seventh generation. This family longevity, rare in the world of champagne, is at the heart of the House's identity and standards of excellence.
