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.
Edition Philippe Starck Rosé
Brut Nature Philippe Starck Rosé is a vintage zero-dosage cuvée, created as the rosé counterpart to the white Brut Nature. Stemming from the clay terroir of Cumières and crafted only in suitable solar years, it strives for a pure expression of the grape, the place, and the vintage. The first documented rosé opus is the 2012 vintage.
- Origin of the cuvée name
- “Brut Nature” indicates its lack of dosage; the name Philippe Starck identifies the creative collaboration between the designer, Frédéric Rouzaud and Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. “Rosé” distinguishes the version created starting from the 2012 vintage.
- Cuvée creation year
- 2012
- Style of the cuvée
- Vintage zero-dosage rosé champagne, pure and precise, prioritizing freshness, energy, and the direct expression of the fruit and clay soils of Cumières. The rosé version is generally described as tender, intimate, powdery, and luminous, while retaining the signature tension of Brut Nature.
- Position within the range
- A singular and vintage cuvée from the House, offered as a rosé within the Brut Nature collection created with Philippe Starck.
Histoire de la cuvée
The collaboration was born from discussions initiated as early as 2003 between Philippe Starck, Frédéric Rouzaud and Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon around a minimalist, zero-dosage champagne. The first Brut Nature was crafted in 2006, then renewed in 2009. The quality and intensity of the Pinot Noir grapes from the 2012 vintage led the House to create two distinct cuvées, a white and, for the first time, a rosé.
