Instead of a radical organic approach, the accent is placed on sustainable viticulture that respects the living environment and the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>One of the original aspects was the creation of a \u201cPerpetual Reserve\u201d in 2012 with that year\u2019s vintage and subsequently enriched each year with the new harvest, blending equal parts Pinot noir and Chardonnay. This reserve will create a template of 20 to 30 vintages over time, ensuring consistency in taste for Louis Roederer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-112915 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/louis-roederer-leading-the-way-towards-sustainable-champagne\/attachment\/louis-roederer-collection-242-vertical-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/louis-roederer-collection-242-vertical-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/louis-roederer-collection-242-vertical-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/louis-roederer-collection-242-vertical-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/louis-roederer-leading-the-way-towards-sustainable-champagne\/attachment\/clr_collection_242_bottle-and-giftbox_rvb_highres-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CLR_Collection_242_Bottle-and-Giftbox_RVB_HighRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CLR_Collection_242_Bottle-and-Giftbox_RVB_HighRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CLR_Collection_242_Bottle-and-Giftbox_RVB_HighRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The first yield from this new way of approaching champagne is Collection\u00a0242, an assembly of Chardonnay (42%), Pinot noir (36%) and Meunier (22%), around one third of which is crafted from the Perpetual Reserve. According to Louis Roederer, the maturity of the Chardonnay grapes (largely from the 2017 vintage) give it an aroma of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes. The palate is rich and ripe, while the Pinot noir and Meunier grapes complete the wine\u2019s broad, luscious, smooth and juicy character. The finish is energetic and fresh. What more could you ask? Well actually, why is it called 242?
