Roederer Estate Brut is a crisp and elegant sparkling wine, featuring complex flavors of pear, spice and hazelnut. It is fresh and lightly fruity with great finesse and depth of flavor. Its precise and well-defined style is one of the hallmarks of Roederer Estate wine and the reason it remains consistently excellent from vintage to vintage.
Roederer Estate’s winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year’s blend or cuvée. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the estate. Oak-aged wines from the estate’s reserve cellars are added to the blend (10% to 15%), creating a multivintage cuvée in the traditional Louis Roederer style.
The NV Estate Brut is scented of sour lemon, almonds and biscuits with flinty touches. The medium-bodied palate is rounded and creamy with bright, lemony character and a long, mineral-driven finish.
This bottling is crisp, lively and exuberant, with concentrated and youthful fruit. Fuji apple, sweet Bosc pear, ripe white nectarine, white strawberry, Rainier cherry, and buttery brioche intertwine deliciously with lime cream mousse. -T.P.
