Roederer Collection 244 GP

Since 2021, the multi-vintage blend Collection has been the worthy successor to the Brut Premier. The number of each annual Cuveé, e.g. 244, stands for the 244th grape harvest since the founding of the House of Louis Roederer in 1776. 244 combines the grapes of the 2019 vintage with the freshness of the Réserve Perpétuelle created by Roederer in 2012 and reserve wines from selected parcels, aged in large oak barrels in the Louis Roederer tradition. Deep golden yellow color. Dense, regular string of pearls with extremely fine bubbles. The bouquet is full and complex with aromas of ripe fruit (vineyard peaches, Williams pears) and citrus fruits (lemon, blood orange). There are also aromas of chalk and light reductive notes that indicate a densely woven, powerful wine. Delicious, expressive and seductive on the attack. Concentrated and extremely juicy, as if you were biting into ripe fruit. The texture is soft, flattering and envelops the palate. The delicate perlage immediately lends it lightness. A chalky freshness ensures a wonderful length. An extremely seductive wine with light toasted aromas, its tasty finish makes it extremely fresh. Smoky notes conclude this exquisite finish. Collection 244 marks the return of the texture of the Meunier from our Roederer vineyards La Montagneô and La Rivièreô, which lends a wonderful complexity to the saline, richly structured Pinots Noirs and Chardonnays!

Recommendation: Serve chilled at 9 degrees Celsius with beef carpaccio with white truffle, lamb broth with fennel vegetables, roasted turbot, scallops, Bresse poularde with foie gras and black truffle, mild goat's cheese and creamy cheeses. Goat's cheese and creamy cheeses.
