ROEDERER ESTATE
Wines from Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California
Brut NV
Roederer Estate Brut, the first California sparkling wine produced by Champagne Louis Roederer, builds upon a 200-year tradition of fine winemaking that has made Roederer Champagne among the most sought-after in the world.
Winemaker NotesThe Roederer Estate Brut is crisp and elegant with complex pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. It is fresh and lightly fruity with great finesse and depth of flavor.
WinemakingRoederer's winemaking style is based on two elements: complete ownership of its vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year's blend or cuvée. All the grapes for the wines are grown on the Estate. Oak-aged wines from the Estate's reserve cellars are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Roederer style. Only the cuvée (first pressing of 120 gallons/ton) is used; no premiere or deuxieme taille. The fermentation takes place in high-grade stainless steel tanks at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. None to minimal malolactic fermentation is used in order to ensure that the wines age well and retain the fresh, somewhat austere style that is one of the characteristics of Roederer wines.
Approximately 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir

J'ai déjà dégusté ce mousseux californiern produit par la célebre maison Roederer. Il est délicieux, les producteurs de champagne établis en Californie ont raison d'être fiers de leurs produits. Le sol californien se prête à merveille à la culture et l'élaboration de ces mousseux.
