Episode 5, Champagne Journal, Louis Roederer and the Cathedral of Rheims

In 1855, Russian Czar Alexander II declared his favorite champagne was Louis Roederer’s. A decade later, 80% of Roederer’s annual sales were to Russia. The Czar wanted an exclusive champagne distinguishable from all others. Louis Roederer, of course, wanted to please his best customer, thus he designed a unique, bottle for only the Czar’s champagne.

The Cathedral of Rheims, located in the heart of the Champagne region, is very important to the history of France, because the coronations of many French Kings, Queens and Regents took place there for centuries.
