Vilmart Les Blanches Voies 2011 is a blend of 100% Premier Cru Chardonnay from sixty-year-old vines (Les Blanches Voies plot). Aging ten months in oak barrels of 228 liters. Quantity limited to 2900 numbered bottles.
A worthy successor to the Brut Premier, Collection 244 was born from the desire to push the quality of multi-vintage blends with transparency. The Collection 244 cuvée therefore represents the 244nd blend of Maison Louis Roederer since its creation.
Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro is a selection from the first pressing of the three grape varieties and for the majority vinified in small oak barrels. The “reserve wines” account for half of the blend.

Chouilly is a vast terroir that can be distinguished in two parts. In the North, the Chardonnays are expressed with more roundness and amplitude. To the east, they have more minerality and tension. This champagne, which reflects the terroir as a whole, is not dosed to appreciate its mineral and citrus identity.
