Vineyard Collection 246 represents the 246th blend since the house was founded, based on the 2021 vintage. It utilizes a "Perpetual Reserve" (aged in large oak vats) to add depth, alongside estate-grown fruit from the Heart of the Terroir. The house prioritizes sustainable viticulture to ensure the fruit carries a strong mineral and saline signature.

Wine A refined and multifaceted Champagne that emphasizes freshness and complexity. It delivers a vibrant bouquet of yellow fruits, citrus zest, and toasted almonds, underlined by a subtle touch of oak. The palate is structural and precise, featuring a fine, creamy mousse and the characteristic saline finish that defines the Roederer style.
