The tasting |
|
|
Golden yellow with regular, very fine bubbles. |
|
| | |
|
Full, deep bouquet of ripe fruit (vine peach, william pear) and citrus fruit, combined with iodine and smoky notes from wood ageing. |
|
| | |
|
A powerful, gourmet attack precedes a palate whose juicy, concentrated texture is akin to tasting ripe fruit. Soft and enveloping, the palate seduces with its fine effervescence, subtle roasted notes and the freshness of chalky soils. |

The estate and the wine |

Louis Roederer is undoubtedly one of the finest Champagne houses. With an exceptional vineyard heritage managed biodynamically for over 20 years, this Reims-based house continues to lead the way towards excellence.
This is particularly evident in the refinement of its style and complete redesign of its non-vintage Brut, now elegantly renamed "Collection" and numbered according to the year's harvest.
This unique signature, enriched by the nuances of its harvest year, gains additional freshness and complexity from a Perpetual Reserve established in 2012, all while maintaining the quintessential Roederer style through a broad selection of reserve wines aged in French oak casks. |

Collection 244 is a cuvée of exceptional richness, shaped by the maturity of the 2019 vintage, the vivacity of the Perpetual Reserve, and the depth of reserve wines aged in wood. This champagne strikes a perfect balance, offering a delightfully rich power. The reintroduction of Meunier grapes lends a gentle, fruity softness, complementing the more structured and saline Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Exhibiting a fresh and juicy profile, it unfolds with aromas of ripe fruit, vineyard peach, and pear, accompanied by a slightly roasted undertone and a hint of chalkiness. The Collection's warm and enticing style is confidently expressed, boasting a texture that is both potent and delectable, and a juicy, concentrated sensation reminiscent of biting into ripe fruit. Finally, smoky notes emerge, enhancing the exceptionally flavorful finish. A grand champagne to be thoroughly savored! |
