Gift a bottle of Louis Roederer Collection 246 to the sophisticated bubbly drinker. It is the 246th blend created by the celebrated French Champagne house since its founding in 1776. Created by Cellar Master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, the Collection range is Roederer's answer to a changing climate: a very fine multi-vintage champagne that expresses the character of each new year, is made for fine food, and can age beautifully in the cellar.

A Heroic Vintage: Collection 246 is built on 2021, the most challenging growing season Roederer had faced since 1958. An early budburst was followed by frost and record rainfall, especially in mid-July, and the region produced one of its smallest harvests in decades. Roederer's vineyard teams saved the harvest, and the result is a champagne full of freshness, precision and tension.
Composition: 54% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier. The Chardonnays proved remarkably resilient in 2021, giving refined, elegant and saline grapes, so they appear in an unusually high proportion. The Pinots, lighter than usual, add the fresh character of the year. The result is reminiscent of certain Blanc de Blancs champagnes.
Rooted in the Terroir: The grapes come equally from Roederer's three historic estates: La Rivière, La Montagne and La Côte. Every plot, from both Roederer's own vineyards and its longstanding partner growers, was re-evaluated so that only the sites best suited to Collection were kept. These are mainly limestone soils with strong identities, farmed with a focus on sustainable viticulture.
The Blend: 55% wines from the 2021 harvest, blended with two kinds of reserve wine:
- 35% Perpetual Reserve. Started in 2012 and refreshed with wine from each new harvest, it brings balance, freshness, chalky intensity, breadth and depth.
- 10% oak-aged reserve wines. These are Roederer's signature: wines from previous years and from young plots on the Cristal estate, aged in large French oak foudres. They add intensity and complexity.
Aging: Aged for almost four years in the Louis Roederer cellars.
On the Nose: Mirabelle plum and candied citrus, with a subtle touch of oak and charming toasted and iodised notes.
On the Palate: Delicate, light and precise, with salty, chalky notes. Soft, creamy bubbles support a powdery texture full of lively energy. The long finish is smooth and graceful, with lovely smoky and toasted notes.
Style: A champagne of freshness, softness and vibrancy with a thirst-quenching delicacy. Roederer calls it its multi-vintage champagne par excellence.
Food & Cellaring: Made to be enjoyed with food. It is delicious now and can also be kept for several years, during which it will evolve and reveal another side of its character.
What the Number Means: Each Collection number counts the blends the house has created since its founding, so wine lovers can choose a bottle based on how young or mature they prefer their champagne.

Louis Roederer Collection 246 is a true French winemaking triumph, perfect for marking milestones, elevating wedding toasts, pairing with fine food, or gifting to someone truly special.
