Louis Roederer Collection 244 NV - Champagne
Closure: Cork
Bottle size: 750ml
Only in its third release, the multi-vintage Collection series is already a classic for non-vintage champagne lovers and vintage collectors alike. While Collection 242 was broad but energetic and Collection 243 deep and dense, Collection 244 confidently asserts its identity with great depth, harmony and freshness.
Lovely golden yellow, very champagne-like, hue. Dense and steady flow of extremely fine bubbles.
Deep, broad bouquet of ripe fruit (wild peaches, william pears) combined with citrus (lemons, blood oranges). The iodised and smoky notes, associated with the autolysis and the ageing in wood, add aromatic freshness. Then come notes of chalk and a hint of reduction, suggesting that the wine will be concentrated and powerful. The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and robust texture. We have a very juicy and concentrated sensation as if we were biting into a ripe fruit.

Producers notes
The
substance is caressingly soft, coating the palate but is
then immediately lightened by the delicate bubbles. The
length is created by a lovely backbone of chalky freshness.
The wine is both delectably rich, with a slightly roasted
character, and super fresh thanks to a salivating finish.
The smoky notes then take over to underpin a very
flavoursome finish.
Collection 244 marks the return of the texture of the
Meunier from the Marne and the Montagne, which adds
a lovely richness to the well-structured and saline Pinot
noir and Chardonnay grapes!
