94/100 James Suckling

Tasted on July 7, 2023 by J.S.: "The first impression is as invigorating as a sea breeze. I love the interplay of mirabelle plum, grapefruit and lychee, the minty freshness and the waxed character from contact with the lees. All this is welded together in a beautifully proportioned, highly structured palate, with lively acidity and lively mousse. The very salty finish keeps you coming back for more.

Cuvée composed of 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 26% Pinot Meunier. Of these grape varieties, 15% were fermented in oak barrels and 85% in stainless steel. The final blend contains 36% perpetual reserve wines and 10% reserve wines from vintage 2012 to 2018 from oak. Dosage is 7 g/l. Drink or store."

Collection 244:

Symbolizing the freedom of the Roederer style, 244 draws on the freshness of a perpetual reserve complemented by the depth of reserve wines aged in French oak foudres and the successes of the 2019 harvest. A singular personality that reveals itself over time.

What the domaine has to say

•  It was a desire for freedom, to push the quality of multi-millennial blends even further, that led the winemakers to embark on a new approach: the creation of Collection, a worthy successor to Brut Premier. A living Champagne, more contemporary than ever!
• Collection represents an evolution in structure, form and style, the dawn of a new chapter for the house as it continues to write with passion. 
• This new cuvée Collection is the expression of the art of blending at Maison Roederer and of our winegrower roots, notably through the selection of plots chosen from the heart of the Champenois terroir. Symbolizing the House's freedom of style, Collection draws on the freshness of a "perpetual reserve" created in 2012, which, complemented by the depth of reserve wines aged in wood, gives Collection a complex personality that reveals itself over time.
