✨ Technical Specifications
Louis Roederer's Collection 241 represents a historic evolution in the house's non-vintage philosophy, designed to embrace climate complexity rather than fight it. Marking the 241st blend since the house's founding in 1776, this cuvée is anchored by the 2016 harvest, integrated with a 'Perpetual Reserve' started in 2012 and oak-aged reserve wines. The blend typically consists of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier sourced from prime Champagne crus. By utilizing large oak foudres for aging its reserve wines, Roederer imparts a signature texture, richness, and vinous complexity, resulting in a Champagne that beautifully balances fresh saline minerality with deep, toasted brioche and ripe stone fruit notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1776 as Dubois Père & Fils and renamed in 1833 by visionary entrepreneur Louis Roederer, Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the rare independent, family-run prestige Champagne houses, stewarded today by the Rouzaud family. Based in Reims, the house commands over 240 hectares of premier and grand cru vineyards spread across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, distinguished by a profound commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Renowned for its masterly balance of power and finesse, Louis Roederer is globally celebrated for creating the world's first prestige cuvée, Cristal, commissioned in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, alongside exceptional vintage Champagnes and its hallmark multi-vintage Collection cuvées.
