Louis Roederer Collection 244

Louis Roederer Collection 244 is a non-vintage Champagne produced by Maison Louis Roederer in Reims, France. `Collection` replaces the former flagship Louis Roederer Brut Premier non-vintage – the number of each representing the number of times the house has produced a non-vintage Champagne since its inception in 1776. Collection 244 is created from a blend of Louis Roederer`s Perpetual Reserve, oak-aged reserve wines and the best wines of the 2019 vintage, and is an assemblage of 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir 26% Pinot Meunier. Producer note. "Deep, broad bouquet of ripe fruit (wild peaches, william pears) combined with citrus (lemons, blood oranges). The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and robust texture. 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."
