Louis Roederer's 'Collection' series represents a revolutionary evolution in Champagne, designed to embrace the nuances of climate change while honoring the house's blending heritage. Collection 247 marks the 247th blend since the estate's founding in 1776, built upon the base of the 2022 harvest. This multi-vintage cuvée is a masterclass in precision, combining Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier from select plots across the Marne Valley, Montagne de Reims, and Côte des Blancs. At its heart lies a dual-reserve system: a 'Perpetual Reserve' kept in stainless steel to maintain freshness, and historic reserve wines aged in large oak foudres that introduce depth and a delicate toastiness. The result is a Champagne of remarkable tension, creamy texture, and vibrant minerality.

Established in 1776 in Reims and renamed in 1833 under the visionary leadership of Louis Roederer, this historic Champagne house remains one of the region's few independent, family-run estates. Renowned for its pioneering spirit, the house manages over 240 hectares of prime Grand and Premier Cru vineyards with an uncompromising commitment to biodynamic and organic farming practices. By utilizing oak casks for aging reserve wines, Louis Roederer crafts sparkling wines of exceptional depth, precision, and longevity. Its crown jewel is Cristal Brut, an iconic prestige cuvée originally created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, which continues to epitomize the house's pursuit of elegance and masterful craftsmanship.
