The origins of the champagne house in Reims lie in the company Dubois Père et Fils, which was first mentioned in 1760. The company later became the property of Nicolas-Henri Schreider (1752-1828), who is considered the official founder in 1776. He employed his nephew Louis Roederer (1809-1870) in 1827. After Schreider's death, the heir renamed the company Roederer. He succeeded in opening up new markets in America and England, as well as winning over the Russian Tsar Alexander I (1777-1825) as a buyer of his champagne. In 1870, Louis Roederer II (1846-1880) took over the management of the company, which had expanded considerably in the meantime.
