Collection 244 presents a lovely golden yellow hue with a dense and steady flow of extremely fine bubbles. The bouquet is deep and broad, featuring ripe fruit aromas of wild peaches and William pears, complemented by citrus notes of lemons and blood oranges. Iodized and smoky nuances, associated with autolysis and aging in wood, add aromatic freshness. On the palate, it offers a rich and robust texture, with juicy and concentrated sensations reminiscent of biting into ripe fruit. The caressingly soft substance coats the palate, lightened by delicate bubbles. A backbone of chalky freshness creates length, leading to a delectably rich finish with slightly roasted and super fresh characteristics, culminating in a salivating and flavorsome finale.
This Champagne is crafted from grapes sourced from Louis Roedererâs own estates, complemented by select partner winegrowersâ plots. The blend includes 36% perpetual reserve wines from 2012 to 2018, 10% reserve wines aged in oak from 2012 to 2018, and 54% from the 2019 harvest, with 5% vinified in wood. Approximately 35% of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation, and the dosage is 7g/l, achieving a balanced and refined profile.
Varieties: 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 26% Meunier
