LOUIS ROEDERER Collection 246 Gift Box

Louis Roederer Collection 246 is the latest evolution of this historic house’s multi-vintage Champagne, marking the 246th harvest since 1776 and here offered in an elegant gift box that suits both celebrations and corporate gifting. Centred on the 2021 harvest and completed by a long-running “Perpetual Reserve” (begun in 2012) and extra reserve wines drawn from young Cristal parcels, it marries Champagne’s classic terroirs in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. The blend sits roughly at 54% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier, with a significant share aged in oak and more than three years on lees, finished with a carefully judged 7–8 g/L dosage for balance. In the glass, it shows a fine, persistent bead, citrus and yellow-fruit aromas with hints of stone fruit, subtle toast and chalk, leading to a supple yet driven palate with creamy texture and a dry, saline, mineral finish. Strong reviews include 93-point ratings from James Suckling, Vinous and Wine Spectator, positioning Collection 246 as a benchmark non-vintage Champagne that overdelivers for its level and adds a touch of pedigree to any Australian table.?
