El Louis Roederer Collection 243 es un Champagne Brut sin añada de la bodega Louis Roederer, originario de Francia. Se trata de la 243ª vendimia ensamblada por la maison desde su fundación en 1776. Aunque carece de añada única, se basa en la cosecha 2018 y se complementa con vinos de reserva. La composición de la copa incluye 42% de Chardonnay procedente de La Côte y la Côte des Blancs, 40% de Pinot Noir de la Montagne de Reims y 18% de Meunier de la Vallée de la Marne.
En el ensamblaje intervienen un 31% de la Reserva Perpetua, una solera iniciada en 2012 con vinos de los años 2012 a 2017, y un 10% de vinos de reserva envejecidos en roble procedentes de parcelas jóvenes de Cristal. El proceso de vinificación incluye que el 16% del blend fermente en roble francés, mientras que la fermentación maloláctica se bloquea en la mayor parte de la mezcla. El vino presenta una dosis de 8 g/l y ha permanecido aproximadamente tres años sobre lías antes de su degüelle en marzo de 2022.

Based on the 2018 vintage and complemented by reserve wines from a solera established in 2012, as well as younger foudre-aged reserve wines, Roederer's newly released NV Brut 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, it will offer demonstrative drinking on release.
James Suckling: 94

The house was founded in Reims in 1776 and remains family-owned and independent..
The decision that defines it dates from 1833. That year Louis Roederer, the house's heir, chose to farm his own vineyards rather than buy fruit on contract, which was and remains the norm among the large maisons.
In 1876 he created Cristal for Tsar Alexander II. It was a cuvée reserved for the Russian court and did not go on sale until 1945.
Today it holds close to two hundred and forty-one hectares across the Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley and the Côte des Blancs, with more than one hundred and thirty certified: the largest vineyard holding farmed organically and biodynamically in the whole appellation.
The number in the Collection range is not a design flourish: add it to the founding year and you get the bottling year. Collection 243 is 1776 plus 243, that is, 2019.
The cellar master is Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon.
