Anticipating future vintages and adapting to current conditions are challenges we face every day, so we must continue to push ourselves in our quest for excellence in our blends. We must be bold and make the most of our freedom to act.\n\nThese new balances determine the evolution of our wines in terms of their distinctive character and taste characteristics, whilst widening the range of possibilities. Thus, the idea of Collection was born...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach year, the Cellar Master composes a new symphony, inspired by the tonalities of the year, and then adds the wines from the Perpetual Reserve and the oak-aged reserve wines.\n\nMade up of 55% of the 2021 harvest, Collection 246 is an ode to taste and drinking pleasure. The Perpetual Reserve makes up 35% of the Collection 246 blend, providing balance and freshness.\nIn parallel with the Perpetual Reserve, a significant proportion of wines from previous years and young plots on the Cristal estate, aged in French oak foudres, are added to the blend. These Reserve wines are Louis Roederer's signature and make up 10% of the Collection 246 blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 246th harvest at Louis Roederer was a challenging, gruelling and in many ways confusing one. 2021 will be remembered as a year when the vineyard team showed unwavering commitment in the face of what was probably one of the most difficult winegrowing seasons since 1958, resulting in low yields! The harvest took place from 13 to 30 September 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156350189816,"sku":"15523","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/7306-no-vintage_eafcef6f-a41c-4946-ae71-6a9da0593b42.png?v=1737980199","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/louis-roederer-collection-246-nv","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
