2017 ROEDERER L'ERMITAGE ESTATE BRUT SPARKLING WINE L'Ermitage is renowned for its uncompromising quality and impeccable craftsmanship. Created using the same meticulous methods employed for their esteemed Cristal Champagne, this Sparkler undergoes meticulous parcel selection, six years of aging on the lees, and minimal dosage. The exceptional care in selecting only the best parcels ensures a high concentration of flavor and complexity. The extended lees aging process allows the wine to develop rich, creamy textures and a fine, persistent mousse, which are hallmarks of its elegance and sophistication. What sets it apart is the extended aging in oak casks, which imbues it with body, finesse, and depth, elevating it above other domestic Sparklers. The oak influence adds layers of toasty, nutty notes and a subtle hint of vanilla, complementing the vibrant acidity and fresh fruit flavors. Produced only in exceptional vintages, the 2017 L'Ermitage is one of Roederer Estate's finest. This vintage showcases the unique terroir of Anderson Valley, with its cool climate contributing to the wine's refined structure and balance. The result is a sparkling wine that rivals the best in the world, offering a luxurious experience for any occasion.
