Introduced as the successor to the house’s traditional non-vintage style, it highlights sustainability, terroir, and the depth of Roederer’s reserve wines, including fruit from its unique Réserve Perpétuelle. The name “242” marks the 242nd harvest in the maison’s history, a fitting tribute to its long-standing expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Collection 242 shows a luminous golden color with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is fresh and elegant, opening with citrus, pear, and white blossom, followed by subtle notes of toasted almond and a gentle hint of spice.\n\nThe palate is generous yet precise, with Chardonnay bringing tension and freshness, Pinot Noir adding structure, and Meunier lending soft fruit richness. A delicate mineral line keeps everything focused, while the texture remains smooth and refined through the finish. With its balance and layered complexity, this Champagne has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollection 242 is built around the 2017 vintage, complemented by reserve wines from Louis Roederer’s Réserve Perpétuelle, a solera-style reserve system started in 2012, alongside selected barrel-aged wines. The blend is composed of 42% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir, and 22% Meunier, creating harmony between freshness, depth, and fruit expression. A portion of the wine is vinified in oak barrels, adding subtle spice and complexity, while extended aging in the cellar for at least four years brings finesse to the bubbles and added roundness to the final blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne is an excellent choice as an aperitif, but it also shines with seafood, shellfish, poultry, and mild cheeses. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C to preserve its freshness and aromatic precision. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open shortly before serving to let the wine’s fine mousse and layered aromatics unfold naturally in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Louis Roederer is one of the great historic houses of the region, with a reputation built on independence, quality, and a deep respect for terroir.
