Big Bottles - Exclusive Champagne Auction - No reserve price! Investment grade large format. Louis Roederer Collection 245. Jeroboam 3.0 L in original wooden presentation case. Overview and investment significance: A highly desirable large format release of Louis Roederer Collection 245 presented in a 3.0 L Jeroboam and completed with its original high quality wooden case. Large format Champagnes from leading houses are produced in significantly smaller quantities and are increasingly sought after by collectors due to rarity, superior aging performance and strong visual presence. This format driven scarcity, combined with excellent provenance and presentation, positions the lot as a strong candidate for long term investment and portfolio diversification. Maison and Collection concept: Louis Roederer, founded in 1776, is one of Champagne’s most respected and quality driven houses, recognized for vineyard ownership, precision winemaking and consistency across generations. The Collection series represents a modern reinterpretation of non vintage Champagne, replacing Brut Premier with a numbered multi vintage blend designed to emphasize transparency, terroir expression and stylistic continuity. Each release carries its own identity while maintaining the signature Roederer balance and structure. Assemblage and technical composition Collection 245: Collection 245 is built on the 2020 harvest, supported by the house’s Réserve Perpétuelle initiated in 2012 and complemented by oak aged reserve wines from multiple vintages including 2010, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, as confirmed on the bottle. This layered blending system creates both immediate vibrancy and structural depth. The inclusion of reserve wines matured in large French oak casks enhances texture, complexity and aging potential, delivering a Champagne with both precision and vinous character. Style and structural character: The wine shows a refined and energetic profile, combining citrus, orchard fruits and subtle stone fruit notes with underlying layers of brioche, toasted almonds and light spice. On the palate it is structured, focused and balanced, supported by fine mousse and vibrant acidity. The presence of perpetual reserve elements contributes additional depth and continuity, making the wine both accessible and suitable for further aging. Jeroboam format influence on aging and investment profile: The 3.0 L Jeroboam format plays a critical role in both qualitative evolution and investment value. Due to the significantly lower oxygen to wine ratio compared to standard bottles, maturation is slower, more controlled and more complex. This extended evolution preserves primary freshness for a longer period while allowing gradual and precise development of secondary and tertiary aromas. The mousse remains finer and more integrated, contributing to superior texture and balance over time. Acidity evolves more harmoniously, maintaining freshness deep into maturity while avoiding premature oxidation. The larger thermal mass of the bottle provides additional stability against temperature fluctuations, ensuring a consistent aging environment. Aromatic development in Jeroboam formats is typically more layered and refined, with clearer integration of fruit, autolytic notes and mineral expression. From an investment perspective, large formats consistently command premium demand due to their rarity, longevity and visual impact, particularly in high end hospitality and collector environments. Presentation and condition: The bottle is presented in its original Louis Roederer wooden case of high quality construction, enhancing both protection and display value. The label is clean and clearly marked Collection 245, with intact capsule and excellent overall presentation. The packaging and visual condition reflect careful handling and professional storage. Provenance and storage: Purchased from a professional source in France and stored since 2025 in the OHMS Connoisseurs Choice professional wine cellar under constant temperature and humidity conditions. This documented provenance ensures authenticity, optimal preservation and strong buyer confidence. Drinking window and aging potential: Collection 245 is already approachable but benefits significantly from aging in large format. In Jeroboam, optimal drinking is expected from approximately 2026 to 2042 and beyond, with increasing complexity, depth and aromatic integration while maintaining freshness and structural precision. Collector interest and market positioning: Louis Roederer Collection series has rapidly gained recognition as a benchmark in modern multi vintage Champagne. Large format releases such as this Jeroboam are produced in limited quantities and are increasingly sought after. The combination of innovative blending philosophy, flagship positioning and format rarity ensures strong and growing collector demand. Packaging and shipping practices: The bottle remains stored in professional conditions until dispatch. It will be shipped in its original wooden case, further secured with protective materials and a reinforced outer carton to ensure safe transport. Shipping methods: EU shipping via DPD.
