Histoire du domaine
The company was founded in Reims in 1776 by Pierre-Joseph Dubois and his son under the name Dubois et Fils. In 1833, Louis Roederer inherited the business from his uncle, gave it his own name and began to expand its export operations. From the 1830s onwards, Hugues Krafft’s commercial efforts played a key role in establishing the house on the Russian market. In the mid-19th century, Louis Roederer also developed his own vineyard to ensure greater control over his supply of grapes. In 1852, the house moved to Boulevard Lundy in Reims, where buildings and cellars carved into the chalk were constructed. In 1876, Louis Roederer created Cristal for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Following the untimely death of Louis Roederer II in 1880, his sister Léonie Olry-Roederer became the owner of the brand and the estates. Her son Louis-Victor, followed by her brother Léon Olry-Roederer, subsequently ran the house; on Léon’s death in 1932, his wife Camille Olry-Roederer took over the reins. Jean-Claude Rouzaud, Camille Olry-Roederer’s grandson, inherited the business in 1979 and expanded the family group. His son, Frédéric Rouzaud, has been at the helm of the house and the group since 2006. Since 2000, Louis Roederer has been applying practices to its vineyards inspired in particular by organic, biodynamic and regenerative agriculture; Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon is now the cellar master.
Collection 245
Collection 245 is a multi-vintage champagne built around the 2020 harvest, complemented by a Perpetual Reserve created in 2012 and reserve wines aged in wood. Its blend brings together chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier sourced from the Maison's three main winegrowing estates, with the contribution of selected parcels from partner vine-growers.

Histoire de la cuvée
The Collection range succeeded Brut Premier to allow greater freedom for each multi-vintage blend. Each edition primarily expresses a given harvest while incorporating the Perpetual Reserve initiated in 2012 and reserve wines; Collection 245 relies predominantly on the 2020 harvest.
