Introduction:
The N/V Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut (375 ml) is a refined and celebratory sparkling wine from Mendocino County. Crisp, polished, and layered, it reflects Anderson Valley’s cool climate with precision and elegance.

Terrior:
Sourced from sustainably farmed estate vineyards in Anderson Valley, characterized by sandy loam and marine-shale soils. Strong cooling influences from the Pacific and deep roots in summer fog contribute bright acidity, aromatic finesse, and mineral clarity.

Appearance:
Pale straw-gold with a persistent bead and creamy mousse. Half-bottle format preserves freshness and intensity in smaller servings.

Nose:
Aromatic layers of lemon zest, green apple, brioche, and toast mingled with light almond and wet stone accents.

Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied, with vivid acidity and fine mousse. Citrus fruit, orchard stone fruit, and gentle yeast notes lead into a saline minerality. The texture is fresh, polished, and balanced.

Finish:
Crisp and lingering—lemon curd and green apple fade into chalky mineral and a refined biscuity elegance.

Press:
94 points, Decanter:
"Always a solid wine from Anderson Valley, this NV is built of 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir and offers pretty lemony and lemon oil notes atop a bed of fragrant white flowers. Very round and complete with an assertive mousse, just-baked bread, and bruised yellow apple fruit. This bubbly has excellent depth and a terrific mineral finish."

94 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"Impressive from first sip, the MV Brut opens in a world of buttered toasty notes, spicy pear, and hazelnut. The oak and fruit shine amidst a backdrop of refreshing acidity speckled with green apple and Meyer lemon. Elegant in style, this medium-bodied Brut has an underlying thread of razor-edged acidity and great length that should keep it fresh."
 
93 points, James Suckling:
"Aromas of pie crust with hints of nuts and cooked apple. Some butter cookies. Medium to full body with notes of seashell, cooked apple, and lemon rind. Chunky at the end. A base of 2019. A blend of 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir. Two years on the lees."

Overall Impression:
A textbook California Brut, combining freshness and poise. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with oysters, smoked fish, fried chicken, citrus salads, or creamy cheeses. The 375 ml size is ideal for smaller pours with maximum vibrancy. Enjoy now through 2026.
