Louis Roederer Carte Blanche 244

Louis Roederer Carte Blanche 244 is a refined Champagne with the house’s characteristic balance of freshness, elegance and depth, presented in a gently sweeter style. Based on the celebrated Collection 244 blend, it combines the character of the harvest with carefully selected reserve wines, offering a polished alternative to a traditional Brut. Louis Roederer’s history dates back to 1776, and the maison remains one of Champagne’s most respected independent producers.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright golden hue with a fine, persistent bead. On the nose, expect inviting aromas of ripe orchard fruit, white flowers, citrus zest and delicate pastry, with hints of honey and toasted almond becoming more apparent as it opens. On the palate, Carte Blanche 244 is rounded and generous, balancing its residual sweetness with lively acidity and a refreshing finish. Flavours of pear, baked apple, lemon cream and brioche are complemented by a subtle mineral character. It is approachable on release but can develop additional complexity over the next few years when stored in cool, dark conditions.

Production
Produced in Champagne from the region’s classic grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, the cuvée reflects Louis Roederer’s focus on expressing both freshness and texture. The Collection series combines the base harvest with reserve wines, helping to create continuity while preserving the individuality of each release. Carte Blanche is finished with a higher dosage than the house’s Brut styles, giving the Champagne its softly sweet, supple character. Exact vineyard proportions and vinification details may vary by release.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C in a white-wine or tulip-shaped Champagne glass. Its rounded sweetness makes it especially well suited to foie gras, pâté, mildly spicy Asian dishes, glazed poultry, fruit-based desserts and lightly sweet pastries. Decanting is not normally necessary, although allowing the bottle to rest in the glass for a few minutes can reveal more of its aromatic depth.

Producer
Founded in Reims in 1776, Louis Roederer is one of the few major Champagne houses still owned and operated by the founding family. The maison is known for its extensive estate vineyards, careful parcel selection and emphasis on Pinot Noir-led, terroir-focused wines. Its prestige cuvée Cristal is internationally renowned, while the Collection range represents a modern expression of Roederer’s long-standing commitment to precision, reserve-wine blending and sustainable vineyard management.
