Maison Roederer has been regaining its lustre since 2010, under the guidance of its excellent cellar master Mr. Lecaillon, who is convinced of permaculture and agroforestry and who in 2018 put half (120 ha) of the vineyard in organic conversion. The style of the House is now oriented towards straightness and salinity, refined and uncluttered wines.
The range begins with the Collection cuvée (previously named Brut Premier), judiciously vinous and as much an aperitif champagne as a meal champagne. Unable to vintage it (to be vintage, a wine must contain at least 85% of the vintage), Roederer chose, like Jacquesson, to number it. Thus, Collection n°243 is built around the 2018 harvest (for 59%), assembled with 41% reserve wines from the 2009 to 2017 vintages.
Then come three vintages Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs (currently in the elegant and great year 2014) to conclude with Cristal their world famous flagship cuvée. Brut Nature is a new transversal cuvée, only produced in 2006, 2009 and now 2012, where purity (zero dosage) and generosity (pinot noir dominant) are the key words.

Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « The NV Collection 242 is a new wine from Roederer that replaces the Brut Premier in the range. [...] That blend results in a NV Champagne that offers lovely richness and resonance, with plenty of yellow orchard fruit and floral character. Whereas Brut Premier was typically a focused, nervy wine that, while consistently excellent, also was not always in line with the Roederer house style, the 242 tastes more like a Roederer Champagne in terms of its complexity. » (Nov. 2021)
Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Nous sommes immédiatement séduits par la précision et l'éclat des arômes : framboise, yuzu, poivre... [...] Une superbe définition de champagne, rafraîchissante, crémeuse, aux saveurs nuancées. D'une belle envergure vineuse, c'est un brut très abouti. Un exemple. » (Dec. 2021)

Noté 93/100 par Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « The 2014 Brut Rosé Vintage is a wine of real power and intensity. Finely cut and also deep, the 2014 packs tons of vigor into its mid-weight frame. [...] This is an impressive showing, to say the least » (Nov. 2021)

Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « Most of the attention at Roederer falls to other wines, most notable the Cristals and the NV, but the Blanc de Blancs is a quiet wine that often overachieves, as it does in 2014. Superb. » (Nov. 2021)
