Roederer Collection 243 Champagne in Graphic Gift Box

Each Roederer Collection is another chapter in the House's extensive history and contributes to its universe of taste, always unique and entirely Roederer! The year 2018 was an extraordinary, continental, magnificent year. The summer of 2018 broke numerous historical records in terms of heat, drought, and sun exposure. The result is Pinots Noirs with a magnificent texture, dense and saline Chardonnays, and exceedingly fruity Meuniers.

Taste:
Intense bubbles permeate the Collection, with luminous, golden-yellow, slightly amber shimmer in the glass. The particularly pure aromas reveal a palette of ripe, fine fruits,
including yellow fruits (mirabelle plums) and sweet citrus fruits, as well as delicate notes of white flowers (jasmine). On the palate, densely concentrated, deep, expressive, and well-structured with a magnificent, refined texture and immense saline freshness.

Production:
The grapes for Louis Roederer Collection 243 come from carefully selected parcels, which, due to their special locations, provide the best grape material year after year and form the basis for the perfect assemblage. Louis Roederer's Collection 243 is a Cuvée made from the base vintage 2018. It consists of 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 18% Meunier, to which 10% wood-aged reserve wines (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) and 31% "Réserve perpétuelle" (i.e., Solera, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) have been added. The champagne aged on its lees for an average of 4 years. After disgorgement, the wine rests for at least 6 months to complete its maturation.

Serving suggestion:
Enjoy chilled at 8-10°C. The freshness of this Roederer Collection is excellent as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood, poultry, and spicy cheese.
