The proportion of reserve wine aged in barrels has increased from 6% to 10%, and there is now a greater proportion of vintages from 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, which means that the cuvée now contains up to 35% more vintage champagne. This results in a deeper and more complex taste experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Collection 242 is composed of grapes from the Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte de Blancs, each contributing their own unique terroir. Cellar Master Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon strives for greater freedom to create blends from these different terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eLouis Roederer presents different \"Collections\" with unique flavor profiles and greater transparency about the contents. Each edition will vary, providing an honest representation of the specific vintages, weather conditions and growing seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The base year for this cuvée is 2017, and the dominant grape is Chardonnay at 42%, while Pinot Noir makes up 36% and Pinot Meunier 22%.

Louis Roederer's classic non-vintage Champagne, Brut Premier, stands out among other non-vintage champagnes. It is concentrated, full-bodied and powerful with a fantastic mousse.
