Louis Roederer Collection 244 Champagne - 12.5% 75cl

Aged for almost 4 years in cellars, Collection 244 is a wine that has reached great plenitude, borne by the maturity of the year, the freshness of the Perpetual Reserve and the complexity of the oak-aged reserve wines.

It is a wonderfully well-balanced champagne with an incredibly luscious power, marking the return of the Meunier grape variety, which adds a fruity, caressing softness to the more structured, saline Pinots noirs and Chardonnays.

As the largest independent family-managed Champagne producer, Louis Roederer rank amongst the region's absolute finest.

Established in 1776, the House today is managed by seventh generation family member Frédéric Rouzaud alongside long-time Chef de Cave and Champagne legend Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. 

Today Cristal is, widely recognised as the world's most awarded prestige cuvée champagne.

Nose: Deep, broad bouquet of ripe fruit (wild peaches, william pears) combined with citrus (lemons, blood oranges).

Palate: The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and robust texture. The length is created by a lovely backbone of chalky freshness.

Finish: 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.
