Roederer Sparkling Wine Review from Anderson Valley,  California

 It’s true that fine winemaking that has made Roederer Champagne among the most sought-after in the world.

While many might of heard of Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne even if only be mention in the celebrity tabloids; my experience has previously been with the 1999 L’Ermitage Rosé. Roederer Estate’s second vintage of this special Tête de Cuvée Rosé had  made its debut and was a favorite when served to customers on the patio during my fine dining career at Terrapin.

Remembering that fine pink bubbly, I was happy to find the Estate Brut waiting for me.

Never Disappointing; Roederer Champagne

I had the bottle of Roederer Estate Brutwaiting on ice. My husband was returning form a trip and I was waiting for him to come back from the airport. It seemed like a nice wifely touch to welcome him home. Since,  I am also planning on serving this wine before Thanksgiving dinner, I felt it was good to get acquainted anyway!

The Roederer Estate Brut is crisp and elegant as one would expect.  The color is a medium-light to light, yellow-gold hue.   For me, it had a pretty strong apple aroma and taste as well.  More subtle, I found the pear, spice and hazelnut flavors I was looking for. On the palate the fruit really shines, with fresh apples, a touch of pear, and more hints of citrus and yeast along with a slight mineral note. It was perfectly toned; not too brut, but never sweet; just flavorful savory apple goodness with medium-light body. The above average acidity keeps this racy in the mouth, plus the many tiny bubbles, just kept the popping.  

The Roederer Estate Brut Sparkling Wine is always  a great sparkling wine and is certainly still the best available especially now with the a sale price of $15.00!
