TASTING NOTES

A luminous straw-yellow robe with golden highlights, enlivened by a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, white peach, candied citrus and pollen intertwine with subtle toasty notes from the oak-aged reserve wines. The palate is juicy and precise, carried by a chiselled acidity, an elegant chalky texture and a long, mineral finish.

Terroirs

Collection 245 brings together 55% wines from the 2020 base vintage, 35% Perpetual Reserve held in stainless steel tanks and built up since 2012, and 10% reserve wines aged in oak casks — all sourced from Roederer's own estate vineyards across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. Only 22% of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving the natural vivacity of the base vintage.

Louis Roederer

About this house

Founded in 1776 and remaining in family ownership for seven generations, Louis Roederer is one of the rare great independent houses of Champagne. Its 240 hectares of estate vineyards, farmed under sustainable viticulture (HVE and partial biodynamics), give it an uncommon mastery of supply and a remarkable stylistic consistency from one assemblage to the next.

The numbered Collection, launched in 2012 by Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, succeeded the Brut Premier by introducing the Perpetual Reserve — a living blend enriched each year with new wines. The number engraved on the label (245, 246…) refers to the assemblage number since the house's founding, a thread of exacting standards passed down from generation to generation.

Its fine bubbles and citrus freshness are at their finest alongside golden, cheese-filled gougères.

The chiselled acidity and briny notes of the champagne pair beautifully with the freshness of a salmon tartare.

The roundness of the reserve wines engages elegantly with the vegetal sweetness of a green asparagus risotto.
