Roederer Estate, a renowned producer of sparkling wines, is located in the Anderson Valley of California. The Roederer Anderson Brut is a sophisticated sparkling wine crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, reflecting the estate's commitment to quality and tradition. The cool climate of Anderson Valley provides an ideal environment for these varietals, contributing to the wine's crisp acidity and vibrant fruit character. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended aging on the lees, which imparts a creamy texture and complex flavors of green apple, citrus, and brioche. This sparkling wine pairs beautifully with seafood, light appetizers, and creamy cheeses.

As with previous releases, the NV Brut is a 60-40 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a refined mousse and dry, crisp, lengthy layers of green apple, citrus, and a bite of brioche. With 10-12% reserve wine from cask, it represents from five to seven vintages in one bottle, from two to seven years old, the style of the house. The reserve aged in oak adds texture and length, broadening the Chardonnay’s natural citrus-driven notes and lightness of being. Disgorged April 2024, the amount of dosage has gone down year to year and is around 9 grams per liter this time around. Drink now and for the next 8-10 years.
