The current Collection 246 is Chardonnay-led, bright and finely detailed, with mirabelle plum, nectarine and candied lemon, creamy bubbles, chalky freshness and a savoury, lightly toasted finish. Roederer builds the cuvée from the 2021 harvest, its Perpetual Reserve and oak-aged reserve wines, giving it both youthful energy and layered depth. Open it for oysters, sashimi or a celebratory roast chicken, or hand it over unopened and take full credit for excellent taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollection 246 is the House's 246th blend since its foundation in 1776.

The final blend is 54% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier, with 24% of the wines vinified in French oak foudres and a dosage of 7 g\/L.
