Each Collection is a change of gear, a new chapter in the Champagne House's world of taste. Always unique, yet always decidedly Roederer!
2018 was a warm, continental, and truly unique vintage. Summer set many new records in terms of heat, drought, and sunshine levels. The Pinot noirs displayed a luxurious texture whilst the Chardonnays were dense and saline was harvested at perfect ripeness and the Meuniers were intensely fruity.
The collection has all its warmth and generosity thanks to the perfect ripeness of the fruit harvested in the 2018 vintage, yet it is the freshness, energy, and complexity of the 'Réserve Perpétuelle' created in 2012, as well as the texture imparted by the oak aging, that extend and elongate the wines' body resulting in unrivalled finesse and persistence.
