96 Points, James Suckling
Delightful citrus notes with yellow apple, faint white flowers, sourdough, brioche and a hint of hazelnut. Full-bodied with a very delicate and fine bead, and crisp acidity. Beautiful finesse with an amusing transparency and freshness to it. Very refreshing, too. Fine bubbles. Structured. Drink with meat
94 Points, Wine Spectator
Opulent yet detailed, with expressive pear and cherry flavors accented by roasted hazelnut, brioche and fresh ginger. Builds richness on the plush finish.
Roederer Estate is a very famous winery in the Anderson Valley region of California, known for producing high-quality sparkling wines in the style of Champagne. Founded by Louis Roederer, the prestigious Champagne house, Roederer Estate has quickly established itself as a leader in the American sparkling wine industry.
The winery’s commitment to traditional Champagne-style methods, including aging the wines on the lees for extended periods, has resulted in sparkling wines with exceptional complexity and depth. Roederer Estate’s flagship cuvée, L’Ermitage, is highly regarded for its delicate bubbles, elegant flavors, and impressive aging potential.
We have it today in the exceptional 2017 vintage, a cooler vintage and one of the best for this great estate in the last two decades.
