Champagne Louis Roederer, Brut Premier collection 245, France (NV)

It represents a more terroir-driven, dynamic approach to non-vintage Champagne, blending multiple vintages with a strong focus on sustainability and expression of the estate's vineyards.

Tasting Profile:
Grape Composition: 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 18% Meunier
Base Vintage: 2018, blended with perpetual reserve wines (34%) and oak-aged reserve wines (10%) to add depth and complexity.
Aroma: Elegant and expressive, with notes of ripe citrus, apple, white peach, and honeysuckle, complemented by hints of toasted almonds, brioche, and a delicate minerality.
Taste: Fresh and vibrant, with a fine mousse. Lemon zest, pear, baked apples, and toasted nuts give way to a creamy texture and subtle spice from the oak-aged components.
Finish: Long, precise, and mineral-driven, with a touch of salinity and lingering citrus notes.
