Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 243/244 avec Etui *

Bright gold colour with shimmering reflections. Fine and dynamic effervescence prolonged by a very persistent cordon. Immediate bouquet, both ample and fresh. A basket of ripe but delicate fruits where we find with precision the yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) of the Pinot noir and the sweet citrus fruits (lemon pie), the perfumes of delicate white flowers (jasmine) of the Chardonnay. After a few minutes, autolysis notes appear in the form of smoke and lightly toasted pastry. Dense and deep on the palate, with a rich and structured structure. The texture is bewitching as the fleshy material of the Pinot Noir de la Montagne undulates in the mouth and is prolonged by an immense saline freshness and a touch of bitterness. The simultaneous impression of strength, richness and power of the masterfully matured Pinot Noir is deliciously balanced by the freshness of the limestone and the density of the Chardonnay that dominate this blend. The warm, greedy style of Collection is there thanks to the great maturity of the most recent harvest: 2018. But the freshness, energy and complexity of the Réserve Perpétuelle created in 2012 as well as the woody grain of the Réserves Foudres stretch and lengthen the material to give it finesse and persistence!
