Louis Roederer Champagne Collection 246 12,5% Vol. 0,75l in Giftbox

The Louis Roederer Champagne Collection 246 is a modern classic of Champagne and embodies the contemporary interpretation of the traditional style of the House of Louis Roederer.

With the Collection range, Louis Roederer replaces the former Brut Premier assemblage, focusing on a dynamic cuvée concept that reflects the House's signature style from vintage to vintage. Collection 246 is based on the 2021 harvest and integrates carefully selected reserve wines from the house's own "Réserve Perpétuelle", creating depth, continuity, and complexity.

2021: A HEROIC VINTAGE

Not since 1958 have we faced such a challenging and unpredictable growing season. The 2021 vintage was particularly demanding and required the full commitment of vineyard teams, who managed to save the harvest, although yields were significantly reduced.

This 246th blend from the Louis Roederer Champagne House expresses the freshness of the year and the precision and tension it brought. The Chardonnays, present in unusually high proportions in the blend, proved remarkably resilient, producing refined, elegant and saline grapes. The Pinots, though less powerful than usual, also captured the light, fresh character of the year. Collection 246 is thus a delicate and vibrant composition, reminiscent of the character of certain Blanc de Blancs champagnes.

The cuvée consists mainly of Chardonnay, supplemented by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which gives the champagne freshness, structure and balance. The vinification is designed for precision and elegance, with a focus on clear fruit, fine texture and mineral tension. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, the Louis Roederer Collection 246 is balanced, powerful and at the same time very accessible. The elegant gift box underscores the high-quality appearance, making this bottling ideal for special occasions.

THE SINGULARITY OF COLLECTION 246
Aged in cellars for almost four years, Collection 246 is a champagne of freshness, vibrancy and ethereal finesse. Carried by the tension and balance of the vintage, the freshness of the Perpetual Reserve, and the complexity of the oak-aged reserve wines, it unfolds with grace and delicacy, revealing an accomplished fruit, evocative of mirabelle plum and candied citrus, complemented by a subtle touch of oak and charming toasted and iodised overtones.

Perfect with gastronomy and endowed with a long cellar ageing potential, it can be enjoyed now but it can also be kept back for several years during which it will further evolve to unveil another facet of its identity.
