Louis Roederer Collection 247 Brut

"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 and orchard fruits. 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 anyheaviness. 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." - Winemaker Notes
