Roederer Estate Description

The Roederer Estate Rosé is a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay. For color, winemaker Arnaud Weyrich prepares a small portion of pinot noir wine with extended maceration and adds about three to five percent to the blend before secondary fermentation, imparting a subtle salmon tinge. Both the blend and addition of the small amount of red wine create a charming wine of discreet finesse.

Wine Spectator: 92 Points

Brisk and festive, this is simply fun to sip. Sleek and graceful, unfurling with an array of strawberry, orange zest and brioche flavors that finish with a refreshing lift.

“There’s ample red-apple flavor at the center of this wine, lingering with a light touch, and hints of spicy orange and ripe peach. That sweet fruit finishes clean, with a gentle sweep of acidity, balanced and long. For scallop and sashimi.”

A View from the Cellar: 90 Points

The Roederer Estate non-vintage Brut Rosé is comprised from a blend of fifty-six percent pinot noir and forty-four percent chardonnay, with a small percentage of the pinot noir being still red wine to give the lovely salmon color to this cuvée. The includes a percentage of reserve wines aged in large oak foudres, in the style of the grand maison in Reims, and is aged sur latte for a minimum of two years prior to disgorgement and a finishing dosage of eleven grams per liter. The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a mix of strawberry, tart orange, bread dough, a fine base of soil and a gentle topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, zesty and full, with lovely focus and balance, refined mousse, a very good core and a long, soil-driven and complex finish. This is lovely wine.
