Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 246 NV Review
Though this Champagne house is best known for its legendary tête de cuvée Cristal, Louis Roederer’s Collection series is a great option at a fraction of the price. Each year the winery crafts a distinct blend, marking its 246th vintage creating this wine. Collection 246 combines wines from the 2021 harvest (55 percent), 35 percent of the winery’s perpetual reserve blend, and 10 percent oak-aged reserve wines sourced from young Cristal vines. The palate is full of juicy apples and pears with a nice rounded texture on the finish.
