Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Collection 244
Regular price $64.98
Lovely golden yellow, very champagne-like, hue.
Dense and steady flow of extremely fine bubbles.
Deep, broad bouquet of ripe fruit (wild peaches, william
pears) combined with citrus (lemons, blood oranges). The
iodised and smoky notes, associated with the autolysis and
the ageing in wood, add aromatic freshness. Then come
notes of chalk and a hint of reduction, suggesting that
the wine will be concentrated and powerful.
The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and
robust texture. We have a very juicy and concentrated
sensation as if we were 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.
The smoky notes then take over to underpin a very
flavoursome 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!
Shipping Policy
- Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
- You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
- During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
- We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
- Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
- Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
- Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Delaware
Kansas - Kentucky
Louisiana - Maine
Maryland - Massachusetts
Michigan - Mississippi
Montana - Nevada
New York - North Dakota
Oklahoma - Pennsylvania
