The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit.

For two centuries, six succeeding generations have been inspired by the same concern for quality. Frederic Rouzaud took up the reins in early 2006 from his father Jean-Claude Rouzaud who remains Chairman of the Board. Jean-Claude, grandson of Madame Camille Olry-Roederer and himself a trained Oenologist had led the company for 38 years, and is referred to as the ‘Sage’ of Champagne (the wise man of Champagne). Frederic has spent the past 10 years working with his father in all areas of production and business and will bring his great business acumen and academic background to the company. Louis Roederer is unique in Champagne owning two-thirds of the vineyards for their total production covering the Pinot Noir sub regions of “Montagne de Reims” and “Vallee de la Marne” with Chardonnay from the “Cotes des Blanc”. By 1995, recent acquisitions had increased Louis Roederer's holding from 180 hectares to almost 190 hectares, ranking 97.5% on the official classification scale. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat was this harvest like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe vicissitudes of the weather in Champagne throughout the growing season created concern about the quality of the harvest until the very last moment.

In September, persistent torrential rains caused the grapes to swell, but with a delayed harvest in mind and the return of sunny, windy weather in mid September, the ripening was able to continue. In the Louis Roederer vineyards, harvest commenced with Pinot Noir in the Vallee de la Marne on September 16, followed by the Montagne de Reims and then the Cote des Blancs. It lasted three weeks in total with two separate pickings at a week’s interval to allow the grapes to reach the peak of their maturity.

Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive Pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels which they have never deviated from. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel, being the largest (along with Krug) than any other producer in the region.
