International Wine Review 95 Points
This 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend sourced from the estate’s vineyards in Mendocino’s Anderson Valley is light copper-salmon in color. It opens with delicate aromas of red berries and zest of blood orange. On the palate it reveals fine bubbles, a creamy mouthfeel, and notes of bread dough and minerals complementing the fruit. The perfect accompaniment for salmon. 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir with 3.9% reserve wines from 2010-14. Dosage 8 g/L.

“This wine is salmon-hued with aromas of Rainier cherry, raspberry, strawberry, orange cream and pink grapefruit zest on the nose. The bubbles are fine and the midpalate has semifirm creamy mousse with flavors of white strawberry, white peach, Golden Delicious apple, dried fine herbs, toasty butter brioche on the finish.”

“A very intense rosé with a strawberry tart and caramelized pie crust character. Full-bodied with a firmness and framing that gives a real sense of structure yet a solid density. It’s open and agile at the same time. Real presence to this. A blend of 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. Five years on lees. 8g/L dosage. Drink or hold.”

“Delicate and pretty, with rose petal and strawberry tones accented by lemon, gingerbread and spices as this glides on the elegant finish. Drink now.”

“The 2015 Roederer Estate “l’Ermitage” Rosé is the new release of this lovely bottling. The wine is crafted from a cépages of fifty percent each of chardonnay and pinot noir. Four percent of the cuvée is composed of reserve wines from the harvests of 2010, 2012 and 2014. The wine includes a small percentage of still pinot noir to give the wine its lovely salmon color. It was finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter and offers up a very refined bouquet of peach, tangerine, wheat bread, a lovely base of soil tones, dried flowers, a touch of citrus peel and a topnote of gentle smokiness. On the palate the wine is crisp, complex and full-bodied, with an elegant profile, superb depth at the core, refined mousse, a lovely spine of acidity and excellent balance on the long and very classy finish. American sparkling wines do not get any better than this excellent vintage of l’Ermitage Rosé! 2023-2045+.”

“This effusively aromatic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Roederer Estate is absolutely delightful. L’Ermitage, both Brut and Rosé is a special tête de cuvée. This sparkling wine is made only from pre-selected, estate-grown grapes in exceptional years—aromatics of pink cotton candy, ripe apricot flesh and red apple peel. The palate is exquisite and refined. Candied peach, blood orange and a touch of wet chalk to finish.”
