✨ Technical Specifications
Théophile Brut Rosé, affectionately known as 'Théo,' carries a rich heritage that traces back to the historic house of Théophile Roederer, founded in the 19th century and acquired by Louis Roederer in 1904. Revived to celebrate a chic, bohemian spirit, this cuvée is crafted with the same meticulous standards as the grand wines of the parent house. The blend typically unites Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, sourced from select vineyards across the Champagne region. To achieve its delicate salmon-pink hue and vibrant red fruit profile, a small percentage of still red Pinot Noir wine is traditionally blended into the white base. The wine undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and is aged on its lees to develop a soft, creamy texture that beautifully balances its bright acidity and fresh notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and subtle toasted brioche.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Reims in 1776 and renamed upon Louis Roederer’s succession in 1833, Champagne Louis Roederer stands as one of the region’s preeminent independent, family-owned Grandes Marques. Spanning 250 hectares predominantly situated within Grands and Premiers Crus across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate prioritizes exceptional estate-owned viticulture. Under Chief Executive Frédéric Rouzaud and long-tenured Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, the house has pioneered large-scale viticultural regenerative transitions, with vast holdings certified organic and farmed biodynamically. The winemaking style combines parcel-by-parcel vinification, judicious large-oak maturation, and blocked malolactic fermentation to preserve chalk-driven tension, textural depth, and crystalline purity. Louis Roederer is internationally renowned for creating Cristal—the iconic prestige cuvée developed in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II—alongside Cristal Rosé, vintage-dated parcel expressions, and the dynamic multi-vintage Collection series based on a perpetual reserve system.
