Here is the beautiful 2015 L’Ermitage by Roederer Estate.

Roederer Estate

November 13, 2023

Today we revel in one of California’s great houses for sparkling wine. Roederer Estate dates back to 1982. At the time it was the vision of Jean-Claude Rouzaud, president of Louis Roederer, who saw  the cool climate and rolling fog of the Anderson Valley to craft some of the region’s finest sparkling wines. The 580 acre estate produces four sparkling wines: the multi-vintage Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut, debuted in 1988, the Brut Rosé and Roederer Estate's vintage tees de cuvee, L'Ermitage and L'Ermitage Rosé. 

Currently the house is under the leadership of Jean-Claude’s son, Frédéric Rouzaud. I loved the new wines. The outstanding NV Roederer Estate ‘Brut Rose’ Sparkling Wine (OB, 92) which is very pretty in its red fruit profile salty undertones. I adored the new 2015 Roederer Estate ‘L’Ermitage’ Rose Sparkling Wine (OB, 95) which has incredible weight and refinement, with outstanding flavor range. Learn more about this outstanding sparkling wine house at https://roedererestate.com Here are the beautiful new wines by Roederer Estate.

NV Roederer Estate Sparkling Wine- The outstanding NV Roederer Estate Sparkling Wine is a blend of 60% Chardonnay with the remainder Pinot Noir that was aged on the lees for more than two years. The palate shows off a refined mousse with serious elegance and poise. The weight of the wine with its luscious melon and citrus fruits, with salty accents, really shines brightly. Drink 2022-2029- 92

NV Roederer Estate Rose Sparkling Wine- The fresh and vibrant NV Roederer Estate Rose Sparkling Wine is a fabulous blend of 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay. Given 8 G/L dosage, this revels in its salty guava and cranberry fruit flavors alongside serious verve. Round and generous on the mouth, this is really singing right now. Drink 2023-2030- 92

2015 Roederer Estate ‘L’Ermitage’ Rose Sparkling Wine- Glowing and very pretty in pink, the stunning 2015 Roederer Estate ‘L’Ermitage’ Rose Sparkling Wine is beautiful evolved now at eight years of age. Made from a proprietary blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this shows good richness on the nose with sous bois, alongside Yakima cherry, white peach and shades of red raspberry. The palate is big, with serious weight and fantastic underlying poise. Ginger, guava, cran-pomegranate and shades of white truffle all beautifully meld together on the palate. Really good now, this has at least a decade of life in front of it. Drink 2023-2033- 95
