Louis Roederer Collection 247 Half Bottle 375ml, Champagne

Half Bottle 375ml

Champagne has always been a balancing act between consistency and expression, and Louis Roederer's Collection series represents a bold reimagining of that tradition. Replacing the long running Brut Premier, Collection allows the house to place greater emphasis on the character of each base vintage while maintaining the unmistakable Roederer style. Collection 247 takes its name from the 247th blend created by the house since its founding in 1776, reflecting both history and innovation in equal measure.

Few Champagne houses possess the vineyard resources of Louis Roederer. Still family owned and guided by Frédéric Rouzaud, the estate farms an extraordinary collection of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across Champagne, with a strong commitment to sustainable and biodynamic viticulture. Collection 247 draws heavily on the freshness and precision of the base vintage, complemented by reserve wines and oak aged perpetual reserves that add depth and complexity.

Bright straw gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse, the bouquet reveals aromas of white peach, citrus peel and yellow apple layered with notes of brioche, roasted almond and subtle pastry spice. As the wine opens, hints of preserved lemon, honey and chalk emerge, adding further intrigue. The palate is beautifully textured and energetic, combining orchard fruits and citrus with creamy mousse and vibrant acidity. There is impressive precision and harmony throughout, while the finish lingers with notes of toasted nuts, citrus zest and mineral freshness.

This is a wonderfully versatile Champagne, equally at home with freshly shucked oysters, lobster rolls, roast chicken, sashimi or triple cream cheeses. Sophisticated enough for celebration yet approachable enough for a Tuesday evening, it captures the poise and confidence that have made Louis Roederer one of Champagne's great houses.
