Louis Roederer Collection 244 Brut

Lovely golden yellow very champagne-like hue. Dense and steady flow of extremely fine bubbles. Deep broad bouquet of ripe fruit combined with citrus. The iodized and smoky notes add aromatic freshness before notes of chalk and a hint of reduction. The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and robust texture. There is a very juicy and concentrated sensation as if biting into a ripe fruit. The substance is caressingly soft coating the palate but is then immediately lightened by the delicate bubbles. The length is created by a lovely backbone of chalky freshness. The wine is both delectably rich with a slightly roasted character and super fresh thanks to a salivating finish. Collection 244 marks the return of the texture of the Meunier from the Marne and the Montagne which adds a lovely richness to the well-structured and saline Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes!
