Louis Roederer Collection 241 Brut Champagne 1.5 Liter Magnum

The new Louis Roederer Brut Collection is numbered as a series, just like Krug Grande Cuve and Laurent Perrier Grand Sicle. The wine is composed of 56% of 2016, with 34% coming from a solera-like perpetual reserve that is even parts of the five previous vintages: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The balance (10%) comes from large oak barrel reserves going back to 2009. The perpetual reserve is always kept at 50/50 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the final blend is 42% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir and 22% Meunier.
