This California outpost of Champagne Louis Roederer not only produces a consistently top-rated sparkling wine with its L’Ermitage bottling, but also makes one of the state’s most reliable values with this non-vintage Brut Anderson Valley. “Your non-vintage is your bread and butter,” says winemaker Arnaud Weyrich, who blends in some of his best juice and oak-aged reserve wine for the NV bottling. “Even if it’s a good vintage, you have to hold back some of the best lots to keep your non-vintage to the standard.” The winery relies on 620 acres of estate vineyards in the remote Anderson Valley of Mendocino County. Cool evening temperatures and fog from the Pacific Ocean lend vibrant acidity to the grapes. A blend of 60 percent Chardonnay and 40 percent Pinot Noir, this bottling was aged in bottle for nearly two years. 85,000 cases made.Tim Fish
Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut builds on the 200-year winemaking tradition established by Champagne Louis Roederer in France. The first California sparkling wine produced by Roederer, the Anderson Valley Brut has established a reputation as one of California's premier sparklers. The Roederer Estate Brut is crisp and elegant with complex pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. It is fresh and lightly fruity with great finesse and depth of flavor. Equally comfortable with candlelight dinners and summer picnics, the Anderson Valley Brut is not just for toasting! It's also wonderful with egg dishes (think brunch), sushi, spicy Asian food, fish and white meats with creamy sauces.

Dynamic yet sleekly elegant, with rich strawberry and apple flavors that are accented by spiced cinnamon and yeast roll as this dances toward the vibrant finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2026. 85,000 cases made. Tim Fish.
Thickly moussed, Roederer s Brut, 60% Chardonnay blended with 40% Pinot Noir, aged two years on yeast is affordable and luxurious. A gorgeous, very dry sparkling wine with aromatics of honey, raisin, apple and pear, it is rich and soft and offers both depth and length. It s an ideal marriage of bright acidity and ripe fruit character.
