Description
The Louis Roederer Collection 245 Jeroboam (3 L) carries the same blend and cellar-ageing philosophy as the standard format, scaled into a monumental 3-litre bottle. It is drawn from a base of 55% 2020 vintage, bolstered by 35% perpetual reserve wines and 10% oak-matured reserves, with a blend composition of 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 24% Meunier. The cuvee is aged on its lees for roughly three years before disgorgement and finished with a dosage of 7 g/L. Aromatically it offers fresh and sugared stone and citrus fruit, gentle brioche and subtle wood notes; on the palate it is generous, juicy and saline, with a fresh backbone and a long, vibrant finish. As a Jeroboam, it's especially suited to cellaring further, and will develop more complexity with bottle age.
