Champagne Roederer "Brut Collection 244":

Guide RVF of the Best Wines of France 2025 (sept. 2024) : 92/100. .

A lovely collection 244 to start with. The 2019 vintage brings a maturity and a breadth on the palate that commands respect. Too few great houses can boast of producing a

cuvée signature also full and deep.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (William Kelley, Dec. 2023) : 93+/100. Based on the 2019 vintage, Roederer's NV Brut Collection 244 is the finest release of the house's reimagined non-vintage Brut to date. Offering up aromas of pear, peach and nectarine mingled with notions of white flowers, beeswax, freshly baked bread and buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a pretty pinpoint mousse, racy acids and a long, chalky finish. The quality of the base vintage really shines through. Drink date 2023-2032.

Technical sheet written by the domaine

Each collection is a "step aside," a new chapter in the taste universe of the House. Each time unique but always resolutely Roederer!

Vintage: The year 2019, dry and continental, broke all historical temperature records during heatwaves of rare intensity! Moderate yields and magnificent maturity characterize wines that are both dense and fresh. The harvest took place from September 10 to 21.

Tasting notes: Beautiful golden yellow color, very Champagne. Dense and regular effervescence with bubbles. ultra-fines.Bouquet ample and deep with ripe fruits (vine peach, Williams pear) combined with citrus (lemon, blood orange). The iodized, smoky notes, linked to autolysis and aging in wood, add aromatic freshness. Following are the chalky notes, with a slight reduction hinting at a concentrated and powerful wine.
Bouche with a delicious attack and a powerful, indulgent texture. A very juicy and concentrated sensation as if biting into a ripe fruit. The body is soft and caressing, enveloping the palate but immediately lightened by the delicate effervescence. The length is brought by a beautiful line of chalky freshness. We are both in full indulgence, with a slightly roasted side, and in full freshness, thanks to a mouthwatering finish. The smoky notes finally take over to enhance this very flavorful finish.
Collection 244 marks the return of the Meunier from Marne and Montagne in texture, bringing a delightful richness to the structured and saline Pinots noirs and Chardonnays !
