Tasting Note

The bouquet is open and rich yet also wonderfully fresh. It offers an explosion of ripe, delicate fruit with intense notes of mirabelle plum from the Pinot noir, complemented by sweet lemon meringue pie and delicate notes of jasmine from the Chardonnay. The nose opens up to reveal autolytic characters and evolves towards smoky, roasted notes and freshly baked pastries. The palate is deep and dense with a big, well-structured backbone. The texture is simply mesmerising with its fleshy mouthfeel from the Pinot noir that coats the palate before giving way to an incredible saline freshness with a pleasant hint of bitterness. This wine combines the strength, intensity and power of the delectably ripe Pinot noirs which are balanced to perfection by the chalky freshness and density from the Chardonnay which forms the majority of the blend.

Product Notes

Louis Roederer Collection 246 is one of the most crisp, refreshing and well-balanced champagnes one can have. The extraordinary combination of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes brings out a symphony of flavors that makes this champagne truly unique. The deep golden tone with a tinge of amber in the color is translucent to say the least and enhances its beauty. The aromas of juicy nectarine, toasted almond and spiced apple pie, among others, complement the balanced structure of the champagne. The taste is tingling with a slightly-tart undercurrent and gently evolves into a long, savory, and nuanced finish. The end result is a luxurious experience that exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and quality control of Roederer.
