Collection 243 denotes the 243nd harvest of the house since its foundation in 1776. Subsequent releases will be numbered accordingly and will be based on similarly high proportions of the perpetual reserve to which an equal portion of each new vintage has been and will be added.
This is what is “revolutionary” to Lécaillon: basing your brut sans année on a perpetual reserve turns the usual modus operandi on its head. The ‘house style’ is no longer the result of blending towards a certain goal but based on the ever-increasing complexity of the perpetual reserve.
