The 246th assemblage by one of Champagne's most prestigious houses. Collection 246 is built on 55% wines from the 2021 harvest, enriched with 35% perpetual reserve wines (2012–2020) and 10% reserve wines aged in oak (2012–2017). Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon raised the Chardonnay proportion to 54% (vs. typical 44%) to balance the challenging 2021 base. Partial malolactic (30%) retains freshness. The result is Roederer's signature: precise, complex, and generous.
