THE PRODUCER The largest family-owned Champagne house with a wealth of owned vineyards (nearly 250ha) two-thirds of which are Grand Cru. But the revolution of Roederer is initially in the vineyard with organic and biodynamic principles spreading across the holdings. Chef de cave Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon has steered Roederer through this learning curve for twenty years introducing changes in the vineyards and adopting an approach he calls “a la carte winemaking” in the cellar. All wines from vintage level up are now made from estate fruit and even the non-vintage wine exceeds 50% ensuring the quality desired throughout the range. The aim is for full ripeness to ensure a clear expression of each vineyard before the blending process begins. Louis Roederer may have lagged behind its reputation last century but is now at the forefront of Champagne houses with a continual philosophy of further improvement which shows in all wines from non-vintage to the prestige Cuvee Cristal. THE WINE Louis Roederer’s ‘Collection’ cuvée replaced the house’s long-standing flagship ‘Brut Premier’ (from the 2021 release onwards), part of what cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon describes as a continuing “fight for freshness.” Collection is always a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, drawn largely from Roederer’s own grand and premier cru vineyards, giving a consistent house signature while allowing each numbered edition to express a distinct base year. Collection 245 is built around the 2020 vintage, then enriched with a significant proportion of reserve wines (a mix of both oak-aged “reserve wines” and perpetual reserve), bringing extra texture, depth and continuity. As with the Collection series, the wine is aged on lees for around three years before release, building creaminess and brioche nuance while keeping the profile taut and energetic. The number 245 reflects the 245th multi-vintage blend produced since Roederer’s founding in 1776.

Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores. As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future.
