Champagne Louis Roederer “Collection 244” Jeroboam 3L

Each Collection is a “step aside”, a new chapter in the House’s universe of taste. Each time unique, but always resolutely Roederer!

The dry, continental year of 2019 broke all historical temperature records during a heat wave of rare intensity! Moderate yields and magnificent ripeness have produced wines that are both dense and fresh.

Beautiful golden yellow color, very Champagne-like.

Dense, regular effervescence with ultra-fine bubbles. Full, deep bouquet of ripe fruit (vine peach, william pear) combined with citrus (lemon, blood orange). Iodized, smoky notes due to autolysis and ageing in wood add aromatic freshness. Then come notes of chalk and slight reduction, revealing a concentrated, powerful wine. Delicious attack on the palate, with a powerful, gourmet texture. Very juicy, concentrated sensation, like biting into ripe fruit. The texture is soft and caressing, enveloping the palate but immediately lightened by the delicate effervescence. Length is provided by a fine line of chalky freshness. The lightly roasted flavors are both delicious and fresh, thanks to a salivating finish. Smoky notes finally take over to support this very tasty finish.

Collection 244 marks the return of the texture of the Meunier de Marne et de Montagne grape variety, which brings a delightful sweetness to structured, salty Pinots Noirs and Chardonnays!
