WINE MAKING PROCESS
Louis Roederer Collection 245 is crafted using a blend of the 2020 harvest, a Perpetual Reserve spanning multiple vintages (2012-2019), and oak-aged reserve wines. Approximately 22% of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation. The base wines are fermented, with some reserve wines aged in oak barrels. The wine is aged for about three years on its lees, followed by an additional six months post-disgorgement. The 2020 harvest, which forms the primary component, benefited from a dry summer, yielding ripe and balanced fruit. The house emphasizes sustainable viticulture across its estate vineyards.
