Description
A multi-vintage Champagne from one of the oldest houses in the town of Reims, founded in 1776. The reference to 246 is the number of blends that Roederer have made since their foundation in 1776. It’s 54% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier. In terms of taste, it’s very classic, with an elegant bouquet and rich creamy notes across the palate. The Roederer style is delicious and extremely popular, with excellent quality, plus the smart packaging makes it the perfect gift!
TASTING NOTE: A lovely Champagne colour in the glass with fine bubbles. On the nose: It has vibrant, ripe fruits such as peaches and pear with wildflower notes, honeysuckle as well as lemon peel, followed by some toasty, nutty notes on the finish. On the palate: flavoursome with medium body and smooth texture. There are plenty of juicy flavours of apples and pear, along with the classic chalky minerality and medium acidity that create a silky mousse, followed by the autolytic notes of brioche, toasted walnut, and freshly baked baguette. 12.5% alcohol.
FOOD PAIRING, STORING AND SERVICE: This Champagne, with its vibrant flavours, makes for a perfect aperitif or food match from fine dining to traditional fish and chips from your favourite local, or a fried halloumi toastie, with tomato jam and rocket. It’s ready to drink now and will continue to drink wonderfully into 2028.
ABOUT: Louis Roederer is a Champagne house who have been making great Champagne since 1776 and are based in Reims. The business is still family-owned; Frederic Rouzaud currently manages it with Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon managing the vineyards and making the wines. They are well respected for making delicious Champagnes, including a collaboration with Philippe Starck which is one to look out for, but also for biodynamic farming across their 240 hectares, eschewing the use of chemicals in the vineyards and winery as much as possible.
