Champagne Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Collection 242 Magnum Deluxe Box, 1,50 L

Roederer, the traditional champagne house, has once again amazed everyone with their Collection 242! Here in a 1.5l magnum bottle incl. deluxe gift box

The name 242 denotes Roederer's 242nd harvest and this champagne consists of 52% grapes from the 2016 vintage. These reserve wines mature in wooden barrels and come from the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintages (as also stated on the back label).
This combination makes the Brut with 8g dosage (residual sweetness) so unique!

Above all, the ageing in French oak barrels makes the champagne complex, delicately creamy and extremely elegant. It's also appreciated by the world's great wine critics. Decanter gives it 97 points and James Suckling 94 points, both are really high awards for a champagne in this price range. And rightly so, in our opinion.

Harmonious on the nose with yellow apples, peaches and delicate vanilla aromas. On the palate, the elegance can hardly be surpassed. Very fine pearls, almost silky, and every sip glides down the throat. Delicate tones of yeast are reminiscent of almonds and brioche. It's still fresh with a salty texture and grapefruit comes to mind temptingly in the seductive finish.

All in all, a great experience! Suitable for any family celebration, but also perfect with oysters, seafood or mild cheese.
