Description

This box contains a bottle of the Collection 245 from Roederer champagne as well as two tasting flutes.

This Collection 245 cuvée from Louis Roederer bears this name because it designates the 245th blend of the House. To go further in the quality of the House's blends and to bring more transparency to the blends, Louis Roederer has committed to a new approach with the creation of this Collection cuvée.

The Making of the Collection 245 Champagne from Louis Roederer

This champagne is the result of the blending of grapes coming 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 the solera and was started in 2012. Each edition of Collection is thus unique and yet always representative of the identity and know-how of Roederer.

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 with 55% of the 2020 harvest (of which 10% are vinified in wood), 10% reserve wines aged in wood, and 35% perpetual reserve. Malolactic fermentation is partially carried out at 22% and the wine is dosed Brut at 7 g/L.

The year 2020 was marked by the hot and sunny climate of the months of August and September. Combined with cool nights approaching the harvest, this allowed the vine to experience exceptional ripening dynamics, offering a superb balance between acidity, sugar level, and aromatic concentration. The 2020 vintage is one of the most beautiful of recent years.
