2019 Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut [JS96][WS94] Mendocino County he produced the Chateau MontelenaProducer: Roederer Estate Region: Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California Blend: 52% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir, 2% Pinot Meunier Year: 2019 James Suckling, 96 Points Delightful citrus notes with yellow apple, faint white flowers, sourdough, brioche and a hint of hazelnut. Full bodied with a very delicate and fine bead, and crisp acidity. Beautiful finesse with an amusing transparency and freshness to it. Very refreshing, too. Fine bubbles.
