Description
The Gift Set includes 1 bottle of Collection 243 75cl presented with two Jamesse Prestige champagne flutes. The JAMESSE PRESTIGE collection has been created in partnership with Philippe Jamesse, chef sommelier at the Michelin-starred restaurant - Domaine Les Crayères, Reims.
Roederer's newly released NV Brut Collection 243 is a pillowy, enveloping Champagne evocative of crisp stone fruits, honeycomb, white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, with an ample core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish
The wine
In order to elevate the quality of the House's multi-vintage blends to new heights and to be more transparent regarding the blends, Louis Roederer has embarked on a new approach with the creation of Collection.
Made from one-third of the grapes stemming from each of the "La Rivière", "La Montagne" and "La Côte" vineyards, Collection is composed of a base vintage, oak-aged reserve wines and wines from the "Perpetual Reserve", which follows the principles of the solera method and was created in 2012. The house's grapes are complemented by a rigorous selection of plots from partner winegrowers. Thus, each edition of Collection is unique and yet, truly reflects the identity and boundless expertise of the Roederer House.
This is a fantastic, structured and elegantly mature wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate. A structured and elegantly mature wine, with fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn. Smooth, complex palate mingling flavours of white-fleshed apple and pear with red berries, blackberries, raspberries and cherries and notes of toast and almonds.

“Based on the 2018 vintage and complemented by reserve wines from a solera established in 2012, as well as younger foudre-aged reserve wines, Roederer's newly released NV Brut Collection 243 is a pillowy, enveloping Champagne evocative of crisp stone fruits, honeycomb, white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, with an ample core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish, it will offer demonstrative drinking on release.”
