LOUIS ROEDERER, founded in the 18th century, remains family owned, a proud claim becoming increasingly rare in these days of financial wheeling and dealing in the world of Champagne. Combined with extensive vineyard holdings providing most of their production needs, the large reserves of wines stored in oak are very much a feature of their thermostatically controlled cellars, ensuring the ability to offer a remarkably consistent high standard of quality.
POL ROGER, founded in the 1849 and now owns 87 hectares of vineyards on prime sites in the Epernay Valley and on the Cotes des Blancs. Great Britain is, and always has been, the premier export market for Champagne Pol Roger: a tradition dating back to the 1860's. This supply is supplemented by grapes purchased on long-term contracts with growers based on the best sites in the region. Total production at Pol Roger is in the region of 1.5 million bottles per annum, making them one of the smaller of the Grandes Marques. The cellars extend some 7 kilometres beneath the streets of Epernay and are carved out of the local chalk over three levels. They are amongst the coolest and deepest in the region, a factor which contributes to the famously fine bubbles in Pol Roger's champagnes.
BRUNO PAILLARD, was born in Reims in 1953. His lineage of brokers and growers in the two Grands Crus villages of Bouzy and Verzenay dates back to 1704. After 3 years of working, improving his know how, he finally reaches the style of his dreams. 1994, Bruno Paillard purchases his first vineyards; 3 hectares in Oger, a beautiful Grand Cru of the Cote des Blancs. Now, the vineyards of the house cover 26 hectares.
BARON-FUENTE hail from Charly sur Marne, in the west of Champagne and were founded in the 17th century as the Baron family. Dolores Fuente is the daughter of Spanish immigrants. Gabriel Baron and Dolores Fuente met at the local dance hall. In 1961, at the occasion of his marriage to Dolores, Gabriel Baron was given 1 hectare of vineyards by his father. In 1967, as a symbol of their union, Gabriel Baron and Dolores Fuente founded the house Baron-Fuente. The first bottles were produced and sold directly from the house. Since then, the company kept on developing year after year. In 1982, their daughter Sophie joined Gabriel and Dolores and started working with her parents. In 1992, their son Ignace also joined the still growing family house, which owns by then already 13 hectare of vineyards. Today, Champagne Baron-Fuente is the owner of 38 hectare of vineyards and is still family owned.
