      Louis Roederer Collection 243 NV represents the latest evolution of the house’s iconic non-vintage Champagne program, replacing the long-standing Brut Premier with a more terroir-driven and vintage-focused approach. Collection 243 takes its name from the 243rd blend created by the house since its founding in 1776. Built around the outstanding 2018 harvest, the cuvée is composed of 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 18% Pinot Meunier, supplemented by reserve wines from Louis Roederer’s perpetual reserve and oak-aged reserve stocks. This innovative blending philosophy allows the house to maintain consistency while showcasing the unique personality of each base vintage. The wine is sourced from Louis Roederer’s estate vineyards across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs, many of which are farmed organically and biodynamically. Extended cellar ageing of three to four years contributes additional complexity, texture and finesse.

      The 2018 base vintage brings generosity, ripeness and concentration, while the reserve wines add freshness, depth and structure. Aromatically, the wine combines ripe orchard fruits, citrus, floral notes and subtle pastry nuances. The palate is layered and harmonious, balancing richness with vibrant acidity and a distinctive saline minerality. Fine, persistent bubbles enhance the wine’s precision and elegance, leading to a long, chalky finish. Equally suited as an aperitif or at the table, Collection 243 pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, seafood, poultry and soft cheeses. Presented here in the impressive 6L Methuselah format, it offers exceptional ageing potential and makes a striking centrepiece for celebrations and special occasions.

      “Notes of dried lemon, apricot, green apple, salted almond, walnut, and light caramel. Vinous and complex, with small, tight bubbles. Excellent concentration and intensity. Based on the 2018 vintage, with reserve wines dating back to 2009.”

      — James Suckling, 94 Points

      “Juicy Mirabelle plum and salty citrus pith have immediate impact on the nose. The palate is equally immediate and generous. Fine, lively mousse rises with esprit and highlights the appetising phenolic structure that is reminiscent of grapefruit pith that is as mouthwatering as the bright line of acidity that pervades the wine. A touch riper than its predecessor 242, but with wonderful dimensions. Most seductive.”

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, 93 Points

      “Collection 243 is a pillowy, enveloping Champagne evocative of crisp stone fruits, honeycomb, white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, with an ample core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish.”

      — William Kelley, Wine Advocate

      Louis Roederer

      Louis Roederer is a highly respected Champagne producer located in the historic city of Reims. The renowned Champagne house, founded in the late 1700s, is still owned and operated by the Roederer family. Their signature style consists of an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a touch of Pinot Meunier, which comprises approximately one-fifth of the blend. Louis Roederer's most famous wine is Cristal, a prestigious Champagne that has captured the hearts of wine enthusiasts worldwide. The house was founded in 1833 and aimed to capture foreign markets, particularly Russia. Roederer became the wine of choice for the Russian royal family, and Cristal was created for Tsar Alexander II. Louis Roederer acquired grand cru vineyards in Champagne in 1845, which was unusual for the time as most houses were buying grapes from growers. Today, the Roederer vineyards encompass around 240 hectares of land, with around 25% managed biodynamically. This commitment to sustainable farming practices is a testament to the house's dedication to producing high-quality wines that are both delicious and environmentally responsible.
