Champagne LOUIS ROEDERER Brut Collection 246 – Gift Box – 75 cl

Food Pairing : Ideal as an aperitif, this champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish and seafood, as well as delicate fish such as sea bass, sole or turbot. It also complements sushi and Japanese cuisine, refined poultry dishes, and creamy cheeses.

Taste : The bouquet first reveals generous aromas of ripe yellow fruits such as mirabelle plum, peach and nectarine, enhanced by subtle citrus notes reminiscent of candied lemon. With aeration, delicate toasted and lightly vanilla notes appear, derived from partial oak ageing, along with a subtle saline and iodine touch that reflects the refined signature style of the house of Louis Roederer.

On the palate, the attack is clean and elegant. Fine, persistent bubbles create a sensation of lightness while supporting a vibrant fruity core and a silky texture. The finish is long and harmonious, marked by a refreshing saline character, chalky minerality and a delicate smoky hint inherited from the Perpetual Reserve that defines the cuvée Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 246.

Grape Varieties : 54% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 11% Meunier.

The Estate and the Vineyard

Founded in 1776 and still family-owned today, Louis Roederer is considered one of the great names of Champagne. The house owns an extensive vineyard of around 240 hectares, located on some of the finest terroirs in the region, mainly classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru. This strong presence in the vineyards allows the estate to oversee every stage of production, from grape growing to the creation of its champagnes.

Deeply committed to environmental respect, the house has for several years been developing sustainable and biodynamic viticulture, with particular attention paid to soil health, biodiversity and the natural balance of the vineyards. This demanding approach helps produce grapes of outstanding quality while preserving the authentic expression of Champagne’s terroirs.

The vineyards extend across prestigious areas such as Verzy, known for its structured and mineral Pinot Noir; Avize, famous for elegant and refined Chardonnay; and Cumières, whose sun-exposed slopes produce generous and expressive grapes.

The Roederer style is defined by a balance of freshness, precision and aromatic depth. Through meticulous vineyard work and highly precise winemaking, the wines develop a silky texture, vibrant energy and refined minerality that have become the signature of the house.

Among its most famous creations is the prestigious Cristal Champagne, originally crafted in the 19th century for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Today, this iconic cuvée continues to embody the excellence and expertise that have established the international reputation of the house.
