Roederer Estate
Roederer Estate Brut is the first California sparkling wine to be produced by Champagne Louis Roederer, building upon the 200-year tradition of fine winemaking of this family owned company. Roederer's unique winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year's blend or cuvée.
The same winemaking philosophy has guided the development of Roederer Estate, located 125 miles north of San Francisco near the Mendocino Coast. Since 1981, Roederer has been quietly developing its own vineyards and crafting fine wines. Roederer Estate's Anderson Valley Brut debuted in October 1988, and the winery's first vintage cuvée, L'Ermitage, was introduced in 1993.
Rouzaud found a cool climate and well-drained soils in the Anderson Valley that are ideally suited to the Roederer winemaking style. This premium grape growing region's proximity to the ocean gives rise to a gentle cycle of warm days and cool nights, allowing grapes to mature slowly on the vine and develop full varietal character. To achieve an optimum balance of acids and sugars in the estate's grapes, Rouzaud introduced an "open lyre" trellis system for training the vines on moveable wires, providing more exposure to sunlight than traditional trellising methods.
