Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut, Anderson Valley, USA 2019

Nestled in the heart of Anderson Valley, Roederer Estate is a benchmark for méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine in California. Founded by Champagne Louis Roederer, the estate continues a legacy of excellence, producing world-class wines exclusively from estate-grown fruit. Combining French winemaking traditions with the unique terroir of Mendocino County, we invite you to experience the artistry, craftsmanship, and dedication that define Roederer Estate.

The concept of the vintage L’Ermitage is the same one that is used in Champagne: only the best of the vintage is selected. These are exceptional wines that create a “noble” blend that allows for longer aging, which produces a fine wine with elegance and finesse. Vintage 2019 features aromas of quince paste and light pastry crust. The entry is bright and textured midpalate. A mouthwatering finish is highlighted by pear skin and an even, creamy texture.

"The 2019 Brut L'Ermitage blends 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir, all estate grown from one growing season, with 3.9% Chardonnay from the 2016 vintage, and a dosage of 6 grams per liter. A complete, well-integrated, medium-bodied sparkling wine with a balance of fruit and savory notes, it offers flecks of oak spice and pastry crust. Textured and creamy in style, it has a lingering brightness on the finish and should age well over the next 10-15 years." JebDunnuck 95
