"It was a desire for freedom to take the quality of our multi
- vintage blends to an even higher level that prompted us to take a new course of action and to create Collection a worthy successor to Brut Premier. Collection is a champagne that is vibrant and contemporary!" — Frédéric Rouzaud CEO

A NEW CHAPTER
-
Driven by a new ambition and freedom with the creation of Collection we are writing the next chapter of our story. The times we live in; climate change and the importance of practising a sustainable viticulture that respects the living environment in order to fully express the qualities of the terroir these are all factors that must be taken into account.
-
The finest works are often forged by constraint and adversity. Driven by a new energy we decided to reinvent our blends reshape our know
- how and rethink our methods in order to fall into step with Nature's new tempo. The creation of Collection was therefore something we had to do. It is an evolution in structure form and style. The start of a new chapter in the story of our Champagne House that we are continuing to write with passion.
-
SOURCED FROM THE "HEART OF THE TERROIR" Collection is based on a selection of plots located in the heart of the Champagne region that are suited to its identity and where the emphasis is on sustainable growing practices.
-
We therefore carefully redefined all the plots for Collection those on our Louis Roederer estates and those part of our historic partnerships to retain only those plots rooted in this "CÅ“ur de Terroir" (heart of the Terroir): lieux
- dits exposures lands with strong identities usually chalk soils those most capable of giving us the best of their fruit vintage after vintage.
-
THE ART OF BLENDING
-
Thus freed from any imposed formula in a single
- minded pursuit of the best wine each year we are placing the art of blending even more at the heart of our approach; better still it is becoming the prime element as our ambition is to take the quality of our multi
- vintage wines to the next level.
-
Today this wine is entering a new important phase. It is more than just an evolution in style it is a change of template a velvet revolution that gives birth to this multi
- vintage Collection champagne another important milestone in our quest for progress and absolute quality.
