Product Description
#27 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018
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.
Roederer'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 cuvee. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the Estate.
Each year, the winemaker selects a portion of the best wines for aging in Center of France oak casks. Aged from one to three years, wines from this reserve cellar are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvee in the traditional Roederer style, known for its body, finesse and depth of flavor.
The Roederer Estate Brut debuted in October 1988, and has since established its reputation as one of California's premier sparklers, remaining true to the heritage of excellence and style of its French forebears.

James SucklingExtremely fresh and floral with sliced apples, stones and some white peach. Bread dough, too. Fine bead. Medium to full body with crisp acidity and a steely finish. Hints of phenolics provide a fine texture. Vibrant acidity. About 15% reserve wine (mostly chardonnay) in this, from five vintages. 2.5 years on the lees. 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir. Drink or hold.

Robert ParkerThe current release of the NV Estate Brut is made up mainly of fruit from the 2015 vintage. It is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir and was made with about ten grams per liter dosage. Disgorged in October of 2018, it has a fresh, open nose with pure fruit expression: crushed apples, pears and lemon peel mingle with touches of stone, flowers and toast. The medium-bodied palate offers a lovely dichotomy of toasty fruits with uplifted citrusy, minerally accents with a finely beaded mousse, and it finishes long and ultra fresh.

Wine SpectatorA lovely sparkler, rich and refined yet overflowing with fresh fruit and lively acidity. Features red apple and raspberry flavors laced with toasty brioche and fresh ginger. Long, luscious finish. Drink now.
California wines are a dazzling showcase of sunshine, diversity, and bold American spirit, stretching from the cool fog of Sonoma to the sun-drenched valleys of Paso Robles. Napa Valley steals the spotlight with its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, plush and powerful, while Sonoma charms with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay full of elegance and balance. Coastal breezes and varied soils let winemakers craft everything from crisp Sauvignon Blanc to juicy Zinfandel and even sparkling wines that rival Champagne. Innovation runs deep here, with both legendary estates and small boutique producers pushing boundaries in style and sustainability. Pour a glass of California wine and you’ll taste not just fruit and terroir, but the fearless, pioneering vibe that defines the Golden State.
Non-vintage sparkling wine, commonly referred to as NV or "Méthode Traditionnelle," is an amalgamation of wines from various years, skillfully blended to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. Produced using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, contributing to its effervescence and complexity. By intentionally avoiding a specific vintage designation, winemakers have the flexibility to maintain a reliable and recognizable style, allowing consumers to enjoy a reliable and delicious sparkling experience year after year.
