Louis Roederer Collection 244

41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 26% Meunier

A lovely golden yellow hue with fine, steady bubbles. The bouquet reveals ripe fruit (wild peaches, pears) and citrus (lemons, blood oranges), complemented by iodized, smoky notes from aging, adding freshness. Hints of chalk and reduction suggest a concentrated wine. The palate entry is rich and juicy, with a soft, velvety texture lifted by delicate bubbles. The finish is fresh and long, with a chalky backbone and a roasted character, followed by smoky notes for a flavorful finish. Collection 244 showcases the Meunier's richness, enhancing the structured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
