2007 L'Ermitage Brut Late Disgorged
After 16½ years on the yeast, another life begins for this late disgorged release. Because of the low pH, the aromatics show a vibrant “young” wine. As the wine sits in in the glass, it becomes more complex, and tertiary aromas of caramelized apples and quince paste can be enjoyed. Bright and pure acidity gently wrapped in the yeast creaminess make for an explosive and bright mouthfeel upon first impression. Roundness keeps the wine lingering on that lively impression.
Roederer Estate wines are made with juice from just the cuvée pressing; no première or deuxième taille is used. L’Ermitage bottlings are exceptional wines that create a “noble” (special) blend that allows for longer aging. The reserve wines added to the L’Ermitage 2007 are from vintages 2004 and 2005. The wine for the reserve dosage added to the L’Ermitage 2007 was aged five years in a French oak cask. Following disgorgement, L’Ermitage 2007 was aged an additional five months minimum on the cork prior to release.
