Brut Anderson Valley Sparkling Pinot Noir - Chardonnay Blend

Sipping Fine Wine
9.1

Nice holiday bubbly!! Founded in 1982, Roederer Estate adds oak-aged reserve wines to all their blends to create complex, dry and harmonious sparkling wines. First Brut California sparkling produced by Champagne Louis Roederer. Pale lemon straw, nice mousse and bubbles for this 60% Chardonnay & 40% Pinot Noir blend. Flavors of crisp Apples with creamy mineral tones, nice balance with acidity. Long finish ending with oak, lemon and nutty characteristics. Consistent. Very nice! — 3 days ago

Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — 2 months ago

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.

Under $20 at Costco. Dark fruits, medium bodied, a little sugar, light tannins, easy oak and spice finish. Pairs well with salmon. Crowd pleaser. 👍 — 9 days ago

Medium gold color. Aromas of lemon, peach and vanilla/oak. Not too oaky on this one- very good balance, citrus and stone fruit on the palate. — 2 months ago

Cheers to top quality bubbles from the Anderson Valley of the North Coast of California!

This wine is made with a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

It’s beautifully balanced with layers of autolytic characteristics like toasted almond, pie crust, brioche, biscuit, marzipan, nougat, thanks to 5 YEARS on the lees…

It has a creamy mouthfeel maintaining freshness with notes of white peach, apple, raspberry, lemon zest, white blossom…

Mousse is fine and persistent. — 25 days ago

Great wine, we've enjoyed a lot of them over the years, 2005 is still the most memorable vintage, just exceptional.
