The Making of Louis Roederer Collection 243 Champagne

The Collection 243 by Louis Roederer is the result of meticulous craftsmanship that highlights the historic terroirs of the House. This blend consists of 42% Chardonnay, which brings finesse and minerality, 40% Pinot Noir, for structure and depth, and 18% Meunier, adding a touch of roundness and fruitiness. The winemaking process includes a part of Perpetual Reserve created in 2012, representing 31% of the blend, and reserve wines aged in wood, up to 10%, for added complexity and depth. The 2018 vintage, which makes up 59% of the cuvée, brings exceptional maturity, highlighted by a balanced dosage of 8g/l.
