Louis Roederer Carries On Its American Journey In Napa Valley

2021 IEAT International Wine and Liquor Promotion, Taiwanâs only year end B2B wine celebration!

Frédéric Rouzaud, President & CEO, welcomes another gem to his familys collection of iconic properties: Maison Louis Roederer to Acquire Fabled Diamond Creek Vineyards.

Oakland, CA, March 12th, 2020 The story of Maison Louis Roederers passion for unique terroirs of Cabernet Sauvignon dates back to the early 1990s with the purchase of Château de Pez in 1995 in the renowned Bordeaux appellation of Saint-Estèphe. 2007 marked the entry of the family into the select group of 1855 Classified Grands Crus wines with the purchase of the iconic super second Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.

The acquisition of Diamond Creek is the continuation of our journey into the greatest appellations in the world and our relentless quest to produce great wines with strong identity. Reflective of their pioneering characters, Al and Boots Brounstein built Diamond Creek from the ground up, producing some of the most celebrated and singular wines of the region. I am delighted that, once again, we have the opportunity to carry on the opus of an iconic family and embody its values and savoir-fair, states Frédéric Rouzaud, President and CEO of Maison Louis Roederer.

Most important to my Mom, myself, and the family was finding the right partner who would respect the legacy that she and Al built over the last 50 years, and who could even elevate that legacy. Frédéric and his family are the perfect fit, says Phil Ross, Boots Brounstein son and Managing Partner.

The Lawrence Family And Carlton Mccoy Jr Announce Acquistion Of Bordeauxs Chteau Lascombes To Portfolio

Napa Valley, CA The Lawrence Family, owners of Napa Valleys iconic Heitz Cellar and Managing Partner and Master Sommelier Carlton McCoy, Jr. have acquired iconic Château Lascombes. Château Lascombes is a storied Second Growth with origins dating back to 1681, when vines were first planted, located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. This marks Lawrence Wine Estates first acquisition in Europe joining a portfolio which includes Burgess, Ink Grade, and Stony Hill Vineyard.

We are honored to become the new stewards of such a historical estate. This Chateau has some of the greatest vineyards in Margaux and our family looks forward to caring for Chateau Lascombes for many generations to come, said Lawrence.

Combining power, elegance, smoothness and tannins, Château Lascombes crafts age-worthy wines with great complexity. The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Seconds Crus in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The estate vineyard is made up of the most sought-after plots in Margaux, composed of a unique mix of soil-types for this appellation: a gravelly outcrop planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, a block of clay-gravel made up of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and clay-limestone plots which produce an optimal expression of Merlot.

International Wine Associates initiated this transaction for Lawrence Wine Estates and served as their financial advisor.
