Theophile—affectionately known as 'Théo'—carries a rich legacy that dates back to the founding of the Théophile Roederer house in 1864. Acquired by Louis Roederer in 1904, the brand was famously revived to capture the vibrant, bohemian spirit of 1930s Paris, where it became the darling of artists and intellectuals in Montparnasse. The Théophile Brut Millésimé is a structured and expressive vintage Champagne crafted from a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from select Marne Valley vineyards. Produced using the traditional method and aged on its lees for several years, this cuvée strikes a masterful balance between the bright, youthful energy of its heritage and the complex, autolytic depth of a vintage bottling. It showcases notes of crisp stone fruit, toasted brioche, and a refined, creamy effervescence.

Established in 1776 in Reims and renamed in 1833 under the visionary leadership of Louis Roederer, this historic Champagne house remains one of the region's few independent, family-run estates. 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. Its crown jewel is Cristal Brut, an iconic prestige cuvée originally created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, which continues to epitomize the house's pursuit of elegance and masterful craftsmanship.
