✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Reims in 1776 and renamed upon Louis Roederer’s succession in 1833, Champagne Louis Roederer stands as one of the region’s preeminent independent, family-owned Grandes Marques. Spanning 250 hectares predominantly situated within Grands and Premiers Crus across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate prioritizes exceptional estate-owned viticulture. Under Chief Executive Frédéric Rouzaud and long-tenured Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, the house has pioneered large-scale viticultural regenerative transitions, with vast holdings certified organic and farmed biodynamically. The winemaking style combines parcel-by-parcel vinification, judicious large-oak maturation, and blocked malolactic fermentation to preserve chalk-driven tension, textural depth, and crystalline purity. Louis Roederer is internationally renowned for creating Cristal—the iconic prestige cuvée developed in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II—alongside Cristal Rosé, vintage-dated parcel expressions, and the dynamic multi-vintage Collection series based on a perpetual reserve system.
