Louis Roederer Collection 242 Brut NV
Champagne, France
chardonnay, pinot meunier, pinot noir
salty
Description
The Louis Roederer Brut Collection replaces the popular Brut Premier and takes NV champagne to another level. For the deeply traditional Champenois, this is a radical approach, with each batch numbered. The wine is made from 56% base vintage, blended with a solera-like perpetual reserve that is even parts of the previous 5 vintages. The final 10% of the blend comes from a large oak vat, which is a mix of vintages dating back to 2009. The dosage has been dropped to 8g/L, so it is crisper and leaner than its predecessor.This is a very worthy successor to a much-loved wine, offering a lovely fresh-baked brioche nose framed by citrus fruits and subtle hints of honey. In the mouth it has a precise bead and great texture, balancing citrus, brioche and stone fruit complexity.

A bright, harmonious Champagne, layering well-cut acidity and a chalky underpinning with flavors of white cherry, crunchy pineapple, green almond and beeswax. The finely detailed mousse carries hints of saffron and spring blossom on the lingering finish. 92/100 Points.
