The Louis Roederer House, established in Reims since 1776, stands as a benchmark in Champagne, blending tradition and innovation under the stewardship of the Rouzaud family. The Collection 243 cuvée, named after its 243rd blend, exemplifies this excellence with a brut dosage of 8 g/l, striking a perfect balance between freshness and maturity. This refined blend comprises 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 18% Pinot Meunier, incorporating the 2018 vintage, reserve wines aged in oak, and a perpetual reserve started in 2012.
