Chandon Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine from California

"Aromatics of Meyer lemon and wet limestone are lifted by enticing notes of honeysuckle and marzipan. The palate is soft with a creamy and mouth filling mousse. The lemon pith and mineral core continue to resonate with undertones of vanilla-laced pears. A strong acid spine carries through to the finish leaving behind hints of cinnamon spice." —winemaker

"Our J Cuvée 20 Brut gracefully opens up with the crisp, clean allure of toasted almonds and Meyer lemon aromas. Upon entry, you notice a delicate tickle of fresh mousse on the nose and palate. Bright acidity adds to the liveliness, while flavors of lemon and lime zest lead to an Asian pear finish." —winemaker

Blend: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay

"Roederer Estate Brut, the first California sparkling wine produced by Champagne Louis Roederer, builds upon a 200-year tradition of fine winemaking that has made Roederer champagne among the most sought-after in the world. Roederer's winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year's blend or cuvee. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the Estate. Each year, the winemaker selects a portion of the best wines for aging in Center of France oak casks. Aged from one to three years, wines from this reserve cellar are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvee in the traditional Roederer style, known for its body, finesse and depth of flavor. The Roederer Estate Brut debuted in October 1988, and has since established its reputation as one of California's premier sparklers, remaining true to the heritage of excellence and style of its French forebears." —winemaker
