✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
