Cool-climate California sparkling wine made in the traditional method, this Brut from Roederer Estate comes from Anderson Valley, a stretch of coastal Mendocino whose fog and long growing season suit the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that go into a Champagne-style blend. Bottled without a vintage, it draws on multiple years to hold a consistent house style, with the secondary fermentation in bottle that gives the wine its fine, persistent bead.

As with previous releases, the NV Brut is a 60-40 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a refined mousse and dry, crisp, lengthy layers of green apple, citrus, and a bite of brioche. With 10-12% reserve wine from cask, it represents from five to seven vintages in one bottle, from two to seven years old, the style of the house. The reserve aged in oak adds texture and length, broadening the Chardonnay’s natural citrus-driven notes and lightness of being. Disgorged April 2024, the amount of dosage has gone down year to year and is around 9 grams per liter this time around. Drink now and for the next 8-10 years. (Jeb Dunnuck, February 2026)
