Estate and wine: Champagne Théophile today is the worthy heir of Champagne “Théo” which had its heyday in the 1930s when the great houses of Montparnasse chose to treat artists and night owls with it. Théophile is now produced by Louis Roederer in keeping with the style that made it so successful. Théophile is not exactly Louis Roederer's second wine. The second wines are in most cases genetically very close to their great inspirations. For Théophile, it is a real but tenuous connection, with differences that make this champagne distinct and therefore exciting.
