Louis Roederer Collection 245
Descripción
Este champagne ensamblaje 245 se realiza con una reserva perpetua de vinos de añadas que van desde la 2012 hasta la 2019, última que se ha incorporado a la mezcla, y de vinos criados en barricas de roble de las mismas añadas hasta la 2019. Cada colección es un verso libre, un nuevo capítulo en el universo del gusto de la casa.
El estilo cálido y goloso de Collection está presente gracias a la gran madurez de la vendimia más reciente, la 2019. Pero la frescura, la energía y la complejidad de la Reserva Perpetua creada en 2012 así como la textura amaderada de las Reservas de fudres vienen a alargar y a prolongar la materia para darle finura y persistencia.

Opinión de los críticos
Restrained green apple, lemon bush and lime, plus light brioche and chalk. Medium to full body with fine, nicely persistent bubbles and good substance on the mid-palate. Almost biting yet polished at the end, with long, refreshing acidity. Lacks a bit of complexity at the moment, but fresh. Best from 2025.
Based on the 2020 vintage, Louis Roederer’s NV Brut Collection 245 is stylistically somewhat comparable to the two previous editions, which were based on the 2018 and 2019 vintages. Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon explains that the personality of the wine will change depending on the base year. By identifying the wine with a number, they do not intend to produce the same profile year in and year out, but rather, they will embrace the singularity of each vintage, accepting the different personalities of the base year. It is complemented by a perpetual reserve initiated in 2012, which is stored in large tanks without lees; the reserve provides balance to the warm years like this, as the perpetual component did not go through malolactic fermentation. While a considerable portion of the fruit comes from Louis Roederer's own estates, for this bottling, the blend incorporates purchased fruit as well, particularly Pinot Meunier, which they do not own. Including approximately 43% Chardonnay, the new Brut Collection offers notes of pear, peach and candied orange zest. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, textural and fleshy, laden with vibrant acidity and concluding with a nicely defined, delicately saline finish, even with 7.5 grams per liter dosage.
This is the 245th blend of Roederer's non-vintage Champagne. It is a fine wine, highlighting the blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bringing in reserve wines to give richness and balance. It is fresh, beginning to show signs of maturity, with an apple aroma and a ripe palate. Drink now. — Roger Voss
Su paso por boca es muy cremoso, envolvente; con toques frutales y panadería tanto en nariz como en boca.
Excelente RPC. Fresca, brillante.
