The "Collection 244" by Louis Roederer represents one of the most recent innovations of this historic Champagne house, known for its excellence and deep tradition in the production of high quality champagne. This particular cuvée marks an evolution in the way Louis Roederer approaches the creation of his champagnes, combining the mastery of blending with a renewed focus on the expression of terroir and freshness.

The "244" numbering refers to the 244th perpetual blend initiated by the winery, part of their new "collection" system, which replaces the "Brut Premier" label. This approach is based on a modified solera system begun in 2012, which integrates oak-matured reserve wines with fresh wines of the year, allowing Roederer to create a champagne with increased texture and complexity.

Visually, "Collection 244" displays a bright golden yellow color, with fine and persistent bubbles, a hallmark of Roederer's meticulous production methods and high quality.

On the nose, the champagne reveals a rich and multi-layered bouquet, with aromas of ripe fruit such as apples, pears and citrus nuances, enriched by notes of fresh yeast, toasted almond and a subtle minerality, which reflect the complexity deriving from both the base wine and from reserve wines.

In the mouth it offers a vibrant and energetic palate, characterized by a fresh acidity and a creamy texture. The flavors of fresh fruit blend with notes of toasted bread and brioche, typical of aging on the yeasts. The finesse of the bubbles and the balance of the wine culminate in a long and clean finish, with a persistence that invites another sip.

Louis Roederer's "Collection 244" is extremely versatile at the table, suitable as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes. It goes beautifully with seafood appetizers, delicate fish dishes, sushi and sashimi, or with poultry or white meat dishes. Its freshness and complexity also make it an excellent companion for slightly spicy dishes or with a delicate creamy component.

The "Collection 244" is a clear example of how Louis Roederer continues to innovate and push the boundaries of champagne production, while maintaining a strong connection to the tradition and quality that has made this house one of the most respected in the world of champagne .
