This lovely Chardonnay was made by Roederer, the French Champagne maker that set up shop in the Anderson Valley of California. The folks at Roederer clearly like the sunlight, the soil, the cool maritime climate and the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes that flourish in the Anderson Valley. This wine confirms their choice.
Brilliant yellow. Green apples, lemon curd, lemon zest and a hint of almonds. Buttered brioche on the tongue. Rich fruit, elegant wine. Savory notes emerge as the wine warms in the glass. In many ways, this is like drinking a still version of a Blanc de Blanc. I love it.
