Champagne Louis Roederer's Collection 246 NV is made predominantly from the high quality 2021 harvest (55%) with the remainder consisting of the 'Perpetual Reserve' (35%) and the Reserve Wines (10%). Collection 245 therefore offers a complex symphony in a wine of remarkably generous and flavourful intensity.
Opening with lifted aromas of nectarine and ripe, concentrated citrus complemented by sweet notes of petals, pollen, sugared almonds and wheat. The palate is velvety, unctuous, rich and juicy. The bubbles have an almost saline character to them and coat the palate with a broad and concentrated texture. The wine reveals an exceptional balance between structure and a crisp, powdery, saline chalky freshness. Smoky and slightly oaky notes linger on a deliciously well-honed finish.
