Louis Roederer Collection 242 is a brut white blend Champagne consisting of 36% pinot noir, 42% chardonnay, and 22% meunier. The base year 2017 makes up 56% of the wine. 10% of reserve wines are aged in oak.
Nose: The perfectly ripe Chardonnay grapes lend the wine its aromas of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes.
Palate: The palate is rich and ripe with a luxurious texture that coats the palate. The Pinot noir and Meunier grapes complete the wine's broad, luscious, smooth and juicy character. The finish is energetic and fresh.
