Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut 1999 NV

Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, United StatesL'Ermitage is Roederer Estate's tête de cuvée. We love the refined mousse and the honey, floral, toasted nut nose streaked with green apple skin and earthy, cherry, anise notes. Rich, round, full-bodied style with great finesse and creamy mousse. A touch sweet but crisp with broad flavours of lemon zest, toasty, creamy, nutty, cherry with a fine undercurrent of earthy, anise and honey notes. Great style and length for California. Delicious. L'Ermitage is made in exceptional years, of pre-selected grapes that come from only the very best lots.Tasted: 29 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
