Tasting Notes

Aroma

The bouquet reveals yellow fruits (mirabelle plum and nectarine) and candied citrus (lemon), complemented by toasted, oaky notes (vanilla) which come from the 24% of wines vinified in our French oak foudres. The fine reductive notes (shellfish) weave their spell, giving the wine a very chiselled character sculpted by the Chardonnay.

Appearance

Champagne coloured with bright, luminous reflections. Very fine, even bubbles.

Palate

The palate is very light and delicate with fruity (peach) and floral (pollen) flavours. The gently releaseing bubbles are soft and creamy, creating a mouth-watering impression thanks to the savoury and dry-chalk sensations created on the tongue and lips. The texture on the mid-palate is fresh, oily, powdery and vibrant. The finish is serene and graceful, and lifted by some smoky and toasty reductive notes that are very definitely from the Perpetual Reserve. Collection 246 is a precise, soft and lively champagne. Its thirst-quenching lightness comes from the exceptional proportion of Chardonnay, which creates finesse, elegance, chalkiness and salinity. It is not unlike the character of certain Blancs de Blancs.

    If the non-vintage market is Champagne's great battleground, this is what victory tastes like. Roederer's NV offering, now numbered with each new release for greater transparency around the base vintage and the reserve wine levers pulled to ensure consistency, has been the best performer for several years, and this shows you why. Freshness and precision are key here, with beautifully defined citrus and white stone fruit characters up front, a little lightly toasted brioche tucked in behind, and energetic acidity driving a surgically clean finish. Points: 95/100

    A harmonious Champagne that shows impeccable balance, with depth and focus to its flavors of white cherry, Honeycrisp apple, tangerine peel and biscuit, while retaining vibrancy and grace. A chalky underpinning comes to the fore on the creamy finish, joining delicate spice and floral accents. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Drink now through 2030. Points: 93/100

    This has pretty and elegant aromas of pears, apple blossoms, grapefruit and chalk. It’s silky, fresh and beautifully balanced on the palate, with very soft bubbles. Based on 2021, with reserve wine from a perpetual reserve created in 2012, plus reserve wines kept in oak from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Drink now. Points: 93/100
