Louis Roederer Champagne is located in Reims, France. It has 506 acres of vineyards and only grows Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The microclimate in the garden is quite stable, so its champagne can maintain a consistent level regardless of the year. The history of the winery can be traced back to 1776, and the winery was founded by Dubois and his son. It was not until 1833, when Mr. Louis Ludrer inherited the property from his uncle, that the winery was renamed Champagne Louis Roederer. It was under his leadership that Louis Roederer Champagne gradually became famous and began to brew champagne.
Louis Roederer redesigned the original "Brut Premier" wine into a "Collection" and added a number (the first number is 242)
In the past, Premier Champagne was non-vintage champagne (N.V.). It was impossible to tell the batch number, the year it was produced, or the years it was blended in. Later, the batch series could be used to find out which years the champagne was blended from by the number and back label. of. For example, Collection No. 242 represents the 242nd harvest since Louis Roederer’s founding in 1776; allowing Champagne lovers and collectors alike to choose Champagne based on their preferred level of maturation.

The NV Brut Premier is a gorgeous wine that stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of wines in its price range. Apparently, it is quite possible to make great Champagne that doesn’t cost a small fortune. Ripe pears, smoke, spices, dried flowers and herbs are some of the many nuances that emerge from the glass. The Brut Premier shows lovely mid-palate depth and fabulous overall balance. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon has done it again. This is a fabulous Brut Premier.
