Description

This box set contains a bottle of Roederer's Collection 245 champagne, as well as two tasting flutes.

This Collection 245 cuvée from Louis Roederer bears this name because it refers to the House's 245th blend. To further enhance the quality of the House's blends and bring greater transparency to the blending process, Louis Roederer has embarked on a new approach with the creation of this Collection cuvée.

The production of Louis Roederer's Collection 245 champagne

This champagne is the result of a blend of grapes, one third each from the vineyards of "La Rivière," "La Montagne," and "La Côte." The Collection 245 cuvée is composed of a base vintage, reserve wines aged in wood, and wine from the "perpetual reserve," which follows the principles of solera and was started in 2012. Each edition of the Collection is therefore unique, yet always representative of Roederer's identity and expertise.

The Collection 245 cuvée, presented here in a box with two flutes, is composed of 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 24% Meunier. This cuvée is made from 55% of the 2020 harvest (10% of which is vinified in wood), 10% of reserve wines aged in wood and 35% of perpetual reserve. Malolactic fermentation is carried out partially at 22% and the wine is dosed Brut at 7 g/L.

The year 2020 was marked by hot, sunny weather in August and September. Combined with cool nights as the harvest approached, this allowed the vines to ripen exceptionally well, offering a superb balance between acidity, sugar content, and aromatic concentration. The 2020 vintage is one of the finest in recent years.

Tasting notes

• Appearance

  The Collection 245 is distinguished by a beautiful golden yellow color, typical of great champagnes, with a regular and dynamic effervescence.

• Nose

  The nose reveals a bouquet of nectarine and lemon, accompanied by sweet notes of petals reminiscent of almonds and harvest.

• Palate

  The palate is velvety, supple, full-bodied and juicy. The texture is concentrated and broad with a refined balance between substance and crisp, powdery, salty limestone freshness that gives a wonderful sensation of freshness. The long, chiseled finish is marked by smoky and slightly woody notes.
