Louis Roederer Collection 242 Champagne Nv 1 5L

Wine Enthusiast Review Rated 94 This is the first in a new series of nonvintage Champagnes that replaces the producer's well-known Brut Premier. Based around the 2017 vintage and blended with wines from six other years, the wine is dry while also having a rich, toasty character alongside mineral, white fruit and spice flavors. Drink now. Wine
Tasting Notes
The Collection 242 blend is dominated by Chardonnay. 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. 42% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir, 22% Pinot Meunier
