Roederer

Roederer is one of the most impressive wineries in Champagne. To the outside world, the image is one of total luxury. But behind the scenes, things are totally different. One of the biggest differentiators here is a very high reliance on estate-grown fruit. Purchased fruit is used only for the Brut Reserve, all of the other wines are made exclusively from estate-owned vineyards, something that is virtually unheard of at this level. Roederer is also the single largest owner of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Champagne. During my recent trip, I heard more than one vigneron refer to Roederer's viticulture as 'grower in culture,' which was pretty incredible. After many years of prodding, I am also delighted to report that Roederer has introduced a smartphone app that allows consumers to get more information on the house's wines by simply taking a photo of the back label. It is great to see this added level of transparency and leadership from Roederer, one of the great, great names in Champagne. Lastly, Roederer fans will note the debut of the Brut Nature, Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon's newest project.
