Collection 247 expresses all the generosity of the 2022 fruit, beautifully balanced by the chalky, smoky quality created by the Perpetual Reserve and the long, mouth-watering signature of the Louis Roederer Champagne House.
Bright, deep champagne hue. Very delicate, even and restrained bubbles.
The bouquet reveals impressive intensity and depth: the high proportion of Meunier, combined with Pinot noir, brings notes of sun-ripened yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) and orchard fruits (William pear). The Chardonnay is equally impressive, adding lovely warm notes of pollen and soft white flowers with a hint of vanilla. With aeration, the autolysis comes through as chocolatey, lightly roasted spices reminiscent of baked apples.
The palate is fleshy with a lively freshness. The juicy fruit brings a caressing, creamy volume but without any heaviness. It is pure indulgence - a truly delicious sensation like biting into perfectly ripe, freshly-picked fruit. The soft bubbles are essential here, providing a creamy lightness while channelling the energy of a very subtle touch of tannin and bitterness. The long, drawn-out finish is soft and concentrated, revealing chalky, saline and mouthwatering overtones.
HAREVST:
This 247th harvest at Louis Roederer is the complete opposite of the 2021 harvest. While 2021 was influenced by an oceanic climate with wet and rainy conditions, 2022 was characterised by a continental climate with plenty of sunshine and generally dry weather.
The harvest took place from 29 August to 13 September 2022.
