At Louis Roederer, winemaking falls under the watchful eye and talented hand of Champagne legend Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. Boasting 240 hectares of Premium and Grand Cru vineyards, Lécaillon has a wealth of high quality grapes to work with. Collection 242 is an exciting new release from Louis Roederer with a refreshingly noble message at its core. Pioneer of sustainable and biodynamic practices, Lécaillon wanted to highlight the impact of global warming with this range. It’s a fizz that ensures there is ample freshness from the Perpetual Reserve to balance the ripe flavours. He started this eternal reserve back in 2012 and has been building on it since. It makes up a third of the blend to this exceptionally fine, creamy, toasty fruit fizz.

"New energy and freshness. A new format, non-vintage that designates the year of the 242nd harvest" James Suckling
