Théophile Brut—affectionately known as 'Théo'—carries a rich legacy that dates back to the foundation of the Théophile Roederer house in 1864. Acquired by Louis Roederer in 1904, this historic marque was famously revived to celebrate the bohemian spirit of 1930s Paris, where it became the darling of artists, writers, and intellectuals in the bustling bistros of Montparnasse. Today, it is crafted by the Louis Roederer winemaking team using younger vines from the estate's prime vineyards. This vibrant Champagne undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and is aged for approximately two years on its lees, resulting in a remarkably fresh, energetic, and approachable style that beautifully balances crisp minerality with soft, creamy fruitiness.

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.
