Producer notes: "42% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 18% Pinot Meunier. 241nd Blend: Perpetual reserve 34% (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015); Reserve wines aged in oak 10% (211, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015); 2016 vintage 56%. The NV Collection is a new wine from Roederer that replaces the Brut Premier in the range. The Collection (which now will be numbered by harvest) is a blend of three components: a perpetual reserve done in the classic non-malo Roederer style, reserve wines in oak with a touch of malo, and a base vintage. That blend results in a NV Champagne that offers lovely richness and resonance, with plenty of yellow orchard fruit and floral character. Whereas Brut Premier was typically a focused, nervy wine that, while consistently excellent, also was not always in line with the Roederer house style, the Collection tastes more like a Roederer Champagne in terms of its complexity. Dosage is 8 grams per liter, so lower than the 9 or so that was typical for recent Brut Premier and much lower than the 12-13 that was once customary. The Collection was also bottled with a bit less sugar than the norm, which results in lower atmospheres of pressure in the bottle and silkier texture."
