Louis Roederer Collection 243 Brut Giftbox

品飲筆記：金黃帶微綠光澤，氣泡細緻持久。香氣先是成熟的黃果與李子感，再切入檸檬奶酥的鮮活柑橘、淡雅的白花與酵香。隨著呼吸發展出酥皮、烤麵包與微燻的烘焙氣息。口感豐滿圓潤，果實的厚實感先包覆整個口腔，接著以礦物鹹感和一絲苦味拉出清新收尾。

生產與釀造：243 系列以2018為主基底（約59%），再加入永久儲備酒（31%）與10%在橡木桶陳年的儲備酒；劑量為8 g/L，約26%進行乳酸發酵。採用傳統釀造法與細緻陳放，既保有豐盈口感，也維持迷人的結構與礦感。

葡萄園與採收：酒款的果來源自三大地塊（La Rivière、La Montagne、La Côte）平均分配，2018年天候偏溫暖，成熟度高但保持良好酸度。田間的多樣地形帶來果實的飽滿與岩土般的鹹礦氣息。

飲用建議：不需要長時間醒酒，開瓶後靜置大約15分鐘即可，使用郁金香杯更能捕捉細緻氣泡與層次香氣。搭配海鮮、開胃小菜或溫熱山羊奶起司都很對味。

Tasting note: Bright, golden with shimmering highlights and a fine, lively mousse. The nose opens with ripe yellow fruits—think mirabelle plum—layered with lemon-meringue citrus and delicate white-flower notes. Autolytic bakery characters evolve into toasted brioche, smoky roasted touches and baked pastries. The palate is deep and dense with a sumptuous, fleshy texture that coats the mouth before a striking saline freshness and a light touch of bitter pith brings balance.

Producer & winemaking notes: Collection 243 is built around a generous 2018 base (59%) blended with a perpetual reserve (31%) and 10% reserve wines aged in oak. Dosage sits at 8 g/L and about 26% of the cuvée underwent malolactic fermentation. The traditional method and careful élevage emphasise both richness and an energetic mineral backbone.

Vineyard notes: Fruit is drawn in equal parts from La Rivière, La Montagne and La Côte parcels, harvested late August to early September in the warm 2018 season. The sourcing across hillside and riverside sites provides a balance of ripe texture and saline minerality that defines the cuvée.

Serving tip: No heavy decanting—open and let rest about 15 minutes, or serve immediately in a tulip glass to appreciate the fine bead and layered aromatics.
