Ratings and Reviews

“This wonderfully elegant and subtle wine is well-suited for a special occasion now through at least 2025. It offers complex and intriguing aromas of toast, ginger and raspberry followed by a light but creamy mouthfeel buoyed by minute, persistent bubbles.”

“This has a great nose, bursting with blood orange, candied ginger and lemon peel aromas, with hints of marzipan, leading to steely and mature flavors that linger delicately on the spicy finish. Nicely combines freshness and maturity. Drink now.”

“It’s rare to find a sparkling wine outside of Champagne with this rosé’s finesse. The Roederer Estate team, led by Arnaud Weyrich and under the guidance of Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon in Reims, are rosé specialists. They produce this wine by first selecting the top fruit from Roederer’s 580 acres of estate-owned vineyards, blending virtually equal amounts of chardonnay and pinot noir as the base wine, and including a small amount of delicately macerated pinot noir for color and fragrance. That points up the pale-pink raspberry freshness of this eight-year-old youth. Like the best release of L’Ermitage, those flavors have precision, a concentrated presence and ethereal finesse.”

“Pale salmon-pink, the 2012 L’Ermitage Brut Rosé offers up fresh aromas of red berries, melon and peaches with nuances of mushroom, hay, toast, citrus peel and floral perfume coming through with time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, pure, fresh fruits with lightly toasty accents, energetic mousse and addicting freshness on the long finish. Lovely! This was disgorged in June of 2019 and made with about eight grams per liter dosage.”
