Champagne Louis Roederer, founded in 1776 and now led by Frédéric Rouzaud, represents over two centuries of meticulous winemaking. The house owns 250 hectares of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, with 90% classified as Grand Cru or Premier Cru. Louis Roederer is a pioneer in sustainable viticulture, employing organic and regenerative practices across its estate. Collection 246 MV showcases the house’s commitment to excellence and innovation, blending multiple vintages to achieve harmony, complexity, and balance. The Collection numbering system allows enthusiasts to select champagne according to its degree of maturity.

Vineyards

Collection 246 draws grapes from three key estate sites—La Rivière, La Montagne, and La Côte—supplemented with select plots from partner growers in the heart of the terroir. Grapes are carefully hand-selected both in the vineyard and during harvest to ensure only the finest fruit is used. The terroirs provide a combination of freshness, minerality, and aromatic intensity, forming the foundation of this multi-vintage blend.

Winemaking

The wine is constructed using a “Perpetual Reserve,” initiated with the 2012 vintage, which is enriched each year with wines from the latest harvest, creating a layered template of complexity, freshness, and energy. Reserve wines aged in large French oak foudres contribute additional depth and salinity. Collection 246 MV is composed of 35% Perpetual Reserve (vintages 2012–2020), 10% reserve wines aged in oak (2012–2017), 24% young wines aged in oak, and 55% from the 2021 harvest. Approximately 30% of the blend undergoes malolactic fermentation, balancing richness and structure.

Tasting Note

The wine exhibits a luminous golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose reveals a layered bouquet of white flowers, citrus zest, orchard fruit, and subtle toasty notes. On the palate, the champagne is fresh yet structured, combining vibrant acidity with a rounded texture, delicate saline undertones, and complex minerality. The finish is long, precise, and harmoniously balanced, reflecting the blend of multiple vintages and careful oak integration.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, caviar, shellfish, or lightly smoked fish dishes.
