Louis Roederer Collection 244 Champagne NV France

From: $99.00

Louis Roederer Collection 244 Champagne NV France – After the upheavals of the early 1900s, particularly the First World War that destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, Léon Olry Roederer reconstructed the vineyards. He decided to buy grapes to ensure the continuity of the House during this difficult period and, at the same time, created a multi-vintage wine that would have a consistent flavour, whatever the harvest year. It is now called Brut Premier.

It was a desire for freedom, to take the quality of their multi-vintage blends to an even higher level, that prompted them to take a new course of action and to create Collection, a worthy successor to Brut Premier. Collection is a champagne that is vibrant and contemporary!

Collection 244 represents the Champagne House’s 244th blend since its foundation. It is crafted from Perpetual Reserve, oak-aged reserve wines from multiple vintages, complemented by the finest wines from their current harvest: mainly Chardonnays and Pinot noirs and Meuniers from the Vallée de la Marne.

Aged between 3 and 4 years in their cellars, Collection is a deep and nuanced champagne that can be enjoyed now or with a few years of cellar-ageing to further hone its complexity and draw out the unique characteristics of each blend. This epicurean champagne is Louis Roederer’s great multi-vintage champagne, its most respected flagship wine.

Collection opens with notes of white fruit, citrus zest and acacia blossom, which are followed by a light touch of roasted hazelnuts, the hallmark of the Chardonnay. The long, very pure structure ends on a pleasing saline note. Collection’s freshness, precision and finesse make it an exceptionally approachable champagne, yet one that also evolves beautifully over time to reveal even more complex and precise flavours.
