Editorial profile
Roederer Estate is the Anderson Valley sparkling wine house founded in 1982 by Jean-Claude Rouzaud of Champagne Louis Roederer, who sought a cool-climate American site suited to méthode traditionnelle production. The estate farms its own 620 acres and sources no purchased fruit, and its wines are built on the Champagne pairing of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, hand-riddled and aged on the lees before disgorgement.
The non-vintage Brut, introduced in 1988, anchors the range alongside Brut Rosé and Extra Dry; single-vineyard Apple Alley and Clark Road bottlings and a still Pinot Noir sit above it, and L'Ermitage Brut and L'Ermitage Brut Rosé, the estate's prestige cuvées, sit at the top. In its 40-plus years the winery has had only two winemakers, both French: founding winemaker Michel Salgues, succeeded by Arnaud Weyrich in 2002.
