Story
Brand Overview
Founded in 1982, Roederer Estate is nestled in Mendocino County’s cool, fog-shrouded Anderson Valley. As the California outpost of Champagne Louis Roederer, Roederer Estate winery builds upon a centuries-old tradition of fine winemaking.
Roederer Estate’s sparkling wines are produced using only Estate-grown grapes from the winery’s own vineyards. The multi-vintage Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut debuted in 1988 to great acclaim, followed by the Roederer Estate Brut Rosé and Roederer Estate’s tête de cuvée, L’Ermitage.
The Region
The Anderson Valley offers cool climate and well-drained soils that are ideally suited to the Roederer winemaking style.
The cool, fog-shrouded Anderson Valley is 3 hours northwest of San Francisco and 45 minutes east of the Pacific Ocean. This microclimate provides growing conditions that are very similar to those found in Champagne, including a longer growing season.
