About Louis Roederer
Louis Roederer’s Collection is a multi-vintage Champagne, and the number on the label identifies the blend. The house lists Collection 247 as based on the 2022 harvest. It combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier from estate vineyards and partner growers, with wine from a perpetual reserve begun in 2012 and other reserve wines.
Choose a Collection release
Collection 246 is based on the 2021 harvest; 247 uses 2022. The producer publishes the grape proportions and reserve-wine shares for each. If you are comparing bottles in a shop or on a wine list, check the number before assuming they are the same blend.
Explore Cristal Rosé
Cristal Rosé is a separate vintage wine from four grand cru plots in Aÿ, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Roederer describes a process that brings Chardonnay juice together with macerating Pinot Noir. Check the vintage and release details for the particular bottle. Contact the house directly before planning an in-person visit.
The takeA strong producer for Champagne drinkers who want to compare a multi-vintage blend with a prestige vintage wine from the same house. Collection draws on a base harvest, a perpetual reserve and other reserve wines, while Cristal is selected from Grand Cru plots for a particular vintage. The contrast makes a useful tasting theme for collectors and curious drinkers interested in how vineyard and blending choices shape the wines.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Louis Roederer is a family-owned Reims house founded in 1776, with vineyard holdings across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. The producer describes an estate of about 250 hectares divided among 420 plots. That vineyard range shapes wines as different as the multi-vintage Collection and the plot-selected Cristal; the house’s identity is grounded in farming choices as much as cellar work.

Tasting Tips
Start with a numbered Collection release and note its base harvest and reserve-wine blend. Then compare a Cristal vintage if the occasion and budget suit it; the producer publishes vineyard origins and disgorgement details for its wines. Ask which Collection number or Cristal vintage is available, since these details tell you more than a generic description of house style.
