From magnum; 2012 base year. Well balanced bubbly with citrus, apple and some toasty notes. Perhaps just a bit too much sweetness, but so much to like in this wine including a great QPR. Sadly, my only magnum; in this format still great freshness and should be going strong for many more years.

Agree with the sweet attack upfront, but then balances out. Good aromatocs and super easy drinker. Would buy again if found on sale. Not sure how to find disgorgement date but I have had them stored for a few years or so. Just ordered some Collection 244s to compare.
Really nice and fresh with a good body (purchased 4.5 years ago, som some age for a NV), very light coloured towards white, a sweet rich attack balanced really well with acidity, long tasty aftertaste

Every time I drink this aim left wishing it just had a bit more. More structure, more body, etc. it’s like it’s so close to being really good but always falls a bit short.

(NV Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne) Aromatically reserved with nutty spices and toast. The palate is tart with lemony flavors and a lingering finish.
(NV Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Premier) This is a great choice for those with Cristal taste, but without the fat wallet. The opulent house style carries through from top to bottom. Pale straw in color, this masculine wine entices the nose with rich vanilla, maple-syrup, caramel-apple, and ginger-ale notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with bold caramel and cream-soda notes, followed by sea spray and then crisp, delicious apple. The finish is clean and crisp. The Shifting Landscape of Champagne

Outstanding again, so much complexity and flavour, excellent length. Best non-vintage bubbles we have had this year.
