Louis Roederer Collection 244 — Magnum 1.5 L with Gift Box

The Louis Roederer Collection 244 in magnum with gift box perfectly reflects the stylistic renewal of Maison Roederer: a precise and refined Brut Champagne, built around freshness, pure fruit expression and the depth brought by a careful selection of reserve wines.

Presented here in magnum 1.5 L, Collection 244 gains additional presence, balance and ageing potential. The large format encourages slower maturation and a finer integration of the mousse, making this bottle particularly appealing for a fine table, an elegant gift or a few more years of careful cellaring.

Terroir and blend

Collection 244 is based on a blend of 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 26% Meunier. The 2019 harvest forms the main base of the cuvée, complemented by a significant proportion of perpetual reserve and reserve wines aged in oak.

This construction gives the wine brightness, texture and complexity. Chardonnay brings lift, finesse and a chalky dimension; Pinot Noir adds structure and depth; Meunier completes the blend with fruit, suppleness and immediate charm. The Roederer signature remains clear: a Champagne that is straight, precise and refined, yet never austere.

Tasting notes

The colour is bright pale gold, animated by a fine and regular effervescence. The nose opens with ripe citrus, yellow apple, pear, white peach and white flowers, before developing more complex notes of hazelnut, almond, fine brioche and chalk.

On the palate, the balance between freshness, fruit and texture is particularly successful. The wine is precise, energetic and delicately creamy, with a well-integrated mousse and a long, saline and chalky finish. The magnum format enhances the impression of depth and structure while preserving a highly enjoyable sense of drinkability.

Expression of Collection 244

Collection 244 draws on the maturity and balance of the 2019 harvest, enriched by the house’s reserve wines. The result is a Champagne that is both approachable and serious, immediate yet carefully built, with fine mineral tension and greater depth than a simple non-vintage Brut. In magnum, the cuvée takes on a more noble and gastronomic dimension.

Expert reviews
