Paying tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer, the formidable matriarch who dynamically led the house from 1932 to 1975, Hommage Camille Blanc is a rare, still white wine under the Coteaux Champenois appellation. This cuvee revives Champagne's historic, pre-sparkling heritage of still winemaking. It is crafted entirely from 100% Chardonnay sourced from 'Volibarts', a historic single vineyard plot of Grand Cru vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Fermented and aged in oak casks, this wine beautifully juxtaposes the razor-sharp, chalky mineral tension of the Cote des Blancs with a textured, rounded complexity, offering a profound and historic expression of Champagne's unique terroir.

Renowned for its pioneering spirit, the house manages over 240 hectares of prime Grand and Premier Cru vineyards with an uncompromising commitment to biodynamic and organic farming practices. By utilizing oak casks for aging reserve wines, Louis Roederer crafts sparkling wines of exceptional depth, precision, and longevity.
