2017 | Roederer Estate | L'Ermitage Brut

The 2017 Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut is a California sparkling wine with a radiant golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles. It offers a complex aromatic profile of green apple, citrus blossom, brioche, and subtle notes of almond and toasted hazelnut. The palate is balanced, featuring crisp acidity and a creamy texture with flavors of lemon curd, white peach, baked pear, vanilla, and honey. The finish is lingering with minerality and a touch of toasty complexity.

Producer Information

Roederer Estate is a California sparkling wine producer located in Anderson Valley. Established in 1982 by the Champagne house Louis Roederer, the first wine was released in 1988. The sparkling wines are made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the methode traditionnelle, and are considered as some of California's best. The estate covers 620 acres (250 hectares) of vineyard land, and farms with organic and biodynamic methods. Anderson Valley's cool climate is well-suited to the production of sparkling wines, and the estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are able to ripen slowly and retain acidity, which is essential for sparkling wine production. Roederer is known for its blending style. Only the first pressing of fruit – around 70 percent of the total pressed – is used. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, wines are blended with oak-aged reserve wines and spend a minimum of two years on their lees before disgorgement. The house has previously produced two non-vintage cuvées – the Brut, composed of around 60 percent Chardonnay and 40 percent Pinot Noir; and the Brut Rosé, composed of about 55 percent Pinot Noir and 45 percent Chardonnay. As of 2021, Roederer are no longer producing vintage Champagne. L'Ermitage, Roederer's prestige cuvée, is a vintage sparkling wine made only in exceptional years from the estate's best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The wine debuted with the 1989 vintage. Varietal wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are also availible at the cellar door.
