Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The dominant Chardonnay and partial MLF (30%) impart a lively, persistent citrus tension.
Roundness
The Perpetual Reserve and oak-aged reserve wines contribute a seamlessly integrated, creamy texture.
Body
A fine, commanding presence that never feels heavy, carried by the minerality of Champagne's terroirs.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of citrus zest and chalk, the hallmark of the 2021 vintage.

TASTING NOTES

Golden robe with green highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose, white peach, mirabelle plum and white blossom intertwine with fresh citrus notes and a subtle buttery touch from oak-aged reserve wines. On the palate, the attack is fresh and taut, the texture creamy and well balanced, with a long finish of lemon zest and chalk.

Terroirs

A blend of 55% base wines from the 2021 vintage — a cool, precise year — and 45% reserve wines, of which 35% come from the Perpetual Reserve, perpetuating vintages dating back to 2012. Partial malolactic fermentation (30%) preserves the wine's natural tension whilst adding layers of complexity.

Louis Roederer

About this house

Founded in 1776 in Reims, Louis Roederer is one of the rare great Champagne Houses to remain independent and family-owned. Led since 2006 by Frédéric Rouzaud, it combines centuries-old tradition with sustainable viticulture, with a large share of its vineyards HVE-certified and in organic conversion.

The House is renowned worldwide for Cristal, its prestige cuvée created in 1876 at the request of Tsar Alexander II. The Collection series, launched in 2012 to replace Brut Premier, embodies the vision of cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, who makes the Perpetual Reserve the guiding thread of a continuous, vintage-driven terroir expression.

Starter

The bright acidity and citrus aromas of the Chardonnay find a natural affinity with the citrus and fresh herbs of gravlax.

Main course

The wine's creamy texture and freshness harmonise beautifully with the spring-like greenness and richness of a green asparagus risotto.
