The making of the Collection 245 Louis Roederer champagne

The Collection 245 cuvée is based on an assembly of the three great terroirs of Champagne: la Rivière, la Montagne, and la Côte. This wine is made from 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 24% Pinot Meunier. An assembly of grape varieties and terroirs that allows for obtaining aromatic richness and a balanced structure.

The assembly of Collection 245 is based on 55% of wines from the 2020 vintage, a year of very high quality in Champagne, and 45% of a perpetual reserve. Two-thirds of this reserve are composed of wines from the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 vintages, wines aged in vats. And for the remaining third, they are the vintages 2010, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019, but aged in wood. This wood reserve adds additional depth to the wine. Partial malolactic fermentation ensures a beautiful freshness to the whole.

The champagne Collection 245 benefits from aging on fine lees for 3 years in the cellar, followed by a precise dosage of 87g/l, to preserve the balance and elegance of the wine.
