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! — a month ago
Medium golden color. Right after opening, a honeycrisp apple, citrus, grapefruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate are evident. After some breathing, wine shows plenty of oxidative notes. It has a medium rich, creamy mouthfeel. First vintage to go through malo — 13 days ago
This is a great sparkling wine. It smells almost exactly like apple juice to me and the taste follows suit. I wrote in my notes “overwhelming apple,” but that is not a bad thing. I also got some pear and like toasted notes. Bubbles are lively, makes it fun to drink. Strikes a good balance between fresh and rich. — 14 days ago
Light golden in color.
Strong nose of apples, citrus, pears, yeast, spices, light marzipan, brioche, minerals and white pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium sized bubbles, and medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with red and green apples, citrus, lemons, yeast, sea salt, limes, light earth, herbs and spices.
Long finish with limes and light marzipan notes.
This is a delicious Champagne. Fruit forward, elegant and complex. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.
Good right out of the bottle, spicy and entertaining.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Nose is racy, deep citrus, orange zest, hint of Tang! Dusty pastry and frosting with cinnamon sprinkles. What a nose, showing better on day 2! Rich and deep, great balance, but still a little tight. Pleasant bitterness and grip that pushes this into serious rosé territory. — 7 days ago
