NV Louis Roederer 'Collection' 244 Champagne
95 Points Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide
The grand contrasts of 244 finds a heightened tension in the 2019 base, and at the same time a seamless coherence. This blend unites all the multifaceted elements that build its tremendous, multidimensional blend matrix with a feeling of micro-engineered precision, bringing together all the disparate universes of citrus, orchard fruits and spice, with the toasty, nutty, nuances of old oak, the cut of malic acidity and the salinity of chalk minerality. Definitive Collection and - as is the ever more apparent way with Collection - it will be an even greater wine at the end of its release cycle than it is now at but the beginning.

Dried-lemon, apricot, green-apple, salted-almond, walnut and light caramel notes. Vinous and layered, with small and tight bubbles. Excellent focus and intensity. Based on 2018, with reserve wines going back to 2009. Dosage 8g/L.
