Louis Roederer Collection 244 Champagne Brut

An Exceptional 2019 Harvest: Louis Roederer Collection 244 is the fruit of the extraordinary 2019 harvest, characterized by record temperatures and splendid ripening. This dry, continental vintage produced wines that were both intense and fresh, with a masterful balance reflected in the Collection blend.

• Unique Characteristics: This Brut sans année evolutionary is an innovative blending idea from Maison Louis Roederer, inspired by the biodynamic vineyard conversion path initiated 20 years ago. Each cuvée is numbered progressively, with 242 representing the number of vintages in the history of the Maison. Based on grapes from a single vintage, this champagne reflects the powerful and refined character of Collection.
• Winemakers’ Approach in the “Heart of the Terroir”: The Maison is committed to respecting its historical origins, selecting the best plots from the vineyards of “la Rivière,” “la Montagne” and “la Côte.” These plots, from both Louis Roederer estates and longtime partners, have been redefined to retain only those most suited to Collection’s identity, linked to the heart of Champagne’s terroir.
• Made to Measure Vinification: The Collection 244 cuvée is composed of 54 percent wines from the 2019 vintage, enhanced by Réserve Perpétuelle and wood-aged reserve wines. The Réserve Perpétuelle, with its balance and freshness, represents a significant percentage of the blend, along with wines from earlier vintages from the Cristal domaine.
• Uniqueness of Collection 24 4: Aged for nearly 4 years, Collection 244 is a cuvée of great fullness, supported by the ripeness of the year, the freshness of Réserve Perpétuelle and the complexity of the reserve wines aged in wood. This champagne offers a wonderful balance, with a refined power that incorporates the fruity delicacy of the Meunier, the structure of the Chardonnays and the savoriness of the Pinot Noirs.
