Louis Roederer Collection 242
Pours with a frothy white mousse that show good hold over a pale straw to straw coloured base that has gold tinged edges and a fine, profuse bead flowing through its core. Lifted baked bread, citrus and yeast lees scents drift out of the glass with ample intensity followed by a faint whiff of dried honey and oily toast like notes. Well endowed with richness the mouthfilling palate features baked bread, citrus and yeast lees flavours over a toasty back drop with some subtle almond characters also present. Gently creamy mid palate, it finishes dry with racy, crisp acidity and a long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Based on the 2017 vintage with a blend of 44% Reserve wines from the 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 vintages (10% of which were aged in oak). The wine is composed of 42% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir & 22% Pinot Meunier sourced equally from Vallée de la Marne, the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims.
