Louis Roederer Collection 243

Collection 243 represents the Champagne House's 243rd blend since its foundation. 
 
It is based on the finest wines from the 2017 harvest and complemented by 34% of the Perpetual Reserve (2012-2016) and 12% of oak aged reserve wines sourced from young Cristal vines (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016). 
 
The Collection 243 blend is dominated by Chardonnay which was of exceptional quality in the 2017 vintage.
 
The perfectly ripe Chardonnay grapes lend the wine its aromas of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes. 
 
The palate is rich and ripe with a luxurious texture that coats the palate, the signature of an outstanding Chardonnay. The Pinot noir and Meunier grapes from the Vallée de la Marne complete the wine's broad, luscious, smooth and juicy character. The finish is energetic and fresh.
