- TASTING NOTE: This 247th blend from Champagne Louis Roederer captures the generous, exuberant and richly expressive character of the year, while preserving the natural tension imparted by Champagne’s chalky soils. Both the Chardonnays and the Pinots delivered succulent, fleshy grapes that retained remarkable freshness and juiciness. Louis Roederer
- ABOUT THE WINE: Collection 247, the 247th blend since the Champagne House was founded in 1776, is a multi-vintage blend sourced from carefully selected vineyard plots located in the heart of Champagne's finest terroirs, with priority given to sustainable winegrowing practices. This unique signature blend reveals the full range of nuances and subtleties of the 2022 vintage (68%) and has drawn further freshness and complexity from the Perpetual Reserve (27%). It remains true to the classic Roederer style thanks to a judicious selection of reserve wines (5%) from previous vintages, aged in French oak foudres. Dosage 7g/L Louis Roederer
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Reims based Louis Roederer is one of the few family owned and independent houses amongst the larger producers in Champagne. In 1845, Louis Roederer acquired 15 hectares in the Grand Cru vineyards of Verzenay. Today the house has 242 hectares located exclusively in the Grands and Premiers Crus of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Côte des Blancs. Of those 242 hectares, 122 are organically certified and another 10 are certified biodynamic. However, biodynamic principals are used throughout all of their holdings and their flagship wine Cristal is produced from only the best biodynamic fruit. Only the Brut Premier and Collection wines use bought in fruit in their production with all of the other cuvees produced with fruit from their own vineyards. Of all the big names in Champagne, Roederer is the closest in philosophy to the small récoltant manipulant producers that produce wine exclusively from their own fruit.
