Roederer Estate Brut Rose(NV)

Winemaker Notes

The Roederer Estate Rosé is full and round with smooth flavors and fine persistent bubbles. The extra measure of Chardonnay contributes elegance and austerity, which balance nicely with the delicate fruitiness of the Pinot Noir.
Winemaking

As with all Roederer Estate wines, the Brut Rosé is comprised of 100 percent estate grown grapes. Oak-aged wines from the Estate's reserve cellars are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Roederer style.

Like the Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut, the Roederer Estate Rose is untraditional. While most roses are made with more Pinot Noir than Chardonnay, the Roederer Estate Rose is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Charodnnay. For color, the winemaker prepares a small portion of Pinot Noir with extended maceration and adds about 5% to the blend before secondary fermentation, imparting a subtle salmon tinge. Both the 60/40 blend and addition of the small amount of red wine create a charming wine of discreet finesse. As with all Roederer Estate wines, the Brut Rose is 100% estate grown.

A rich and toasty sparkler from the famous Champagne maker who was the first to stake a claim in Anderson Valley as the best site in California for Champagne-style wines.

Roederer Estate Brut is made from 100% estate grapes grown in Northern Californias cool Anderson Valley. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the Brut also contains the ingredient essential to the Roederer style - oak-aged wines from the winerys reserve cellars. Light gold with coppery tinges, the Roederer Estate Brut is unusually complex for a California sparkler. Beautifully balanced, the wine has a creamy mouth feel and long, elegant finish.

I've found this to be always a wonderful bubbly, and really a steal for the price. It's got a lot of what Roederer Estate's L'Hermitage vintaged bottlings offer, except perhaps this shows a seam when the L'Hermitage is seamless. Still, it's nicely put together with fruit and finesse, and a touch of creaminess. We served this as the toasting wine at our wedding reception and heard our guests enjoyed it as much as we do.
