Champagne Louis Roederer named ‘The Worlds Most Admired Champagne 2026’
For an unprecedented 7th year in a row, Champagne Louis Roederer has been crowned ‘The Worlds Most Admired Champagne Brand 2026’ by Drinks International. In the words of renowned champagne expert Giles Fallowfield “an astonishing achievement by team Roederer”.
Champagne Louis Roederer has been widely recognised, not just for the consistently excellent quality of their wines, but for the insights, research and innovation provided year on year by Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, “whoes voice is listened to across the region, [as he] puts the spotlight on some aspect of champagne that matters and everyone is, or should be, thinking about”.
The Most Admired Champagne Brands survey is conducted by a panel of independent industry experts. They poll leading sommeliers, retail buyers, wholesalers, bar managers, Masters of Wine and specialist wine writers. Each member is asked to select the five brands they admire most in descending order, considering the following criteria:
- The quality and consistency of the brand’s champagne, paying particular attention to its flagship non-vintage expression, but also focusing on the entire range.
- The strength of the branding and marketing.
- The price-to-quality ratio across the range – does it justify its price point?
- How much they respect and admire the champagne house.
- How strong the brand is in relation to its peers within the champagne sector.
