Louis Roederer Champagne 246 NV 750ml
The Wine
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.
Aged 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.

About the Wine Maker 
One of the last great independent, family-run Champagne houses.
Founded in 1776, it became legendary under the leadership of Louis Roederer himself in 1833. While most houses at the time bought grapes from various farmers, Roederer was a visionary who decided to buy the land instead. Today, they own over 240 hectares of prime vineyards, allowing them to control the quality of their wine from the soil to the bottle.
