The 5th and final wine at the Louis Roederer dinner last Friday night ( even though I did have a sip of the 2015 Cristal which was stunning ). The host for the evening said this Rose was made in a unique style with whole Pinot Noir berries added to the pressed Chardonnay juice. When the Pinot Noir berries split the must is pressed again. Red fruited but not as strawberries and cream as I was expecting. — 3 months ago

@Delectable Wine : This is Domaine Les Monts Fournois’s Vallée 75 Mois de Cave - Premier Cru NV de Luxe. I didn’t see it in the database.

From winemaker Juliette Alips (Louis Latour, GD Vajra, Louis Roederer), cousin of the Bereche brothers (who are helping consult).

I love any and all things by Bereche, so when this new producer became available to try, I bought this as well as the vintage Grand Cru Cramant (which I posted a month or two ago).

As the name suggests, this receives 75 months on the lees. Base 2015, disgorged Sept ‘22. Blend of Pinot Noir (70%), Chardonnay (20%), and Pinot Meunier (10%). What I enjoyed about this over the Cramant was how Bereche-like it was. Powerful, beautifully ripe, textural as expected from the extended lees contact. Spiced golden apple, Mirabelle, layers of ripe and exotic yellow fruit before channeling the darker red berry fruit. Kiss of toast and sea spray at the finish. Wears its 5.5g/l dosage really well. I enjoyed this quite a bit. 93+ — 7 months ago

I'm a fan of California sparkling wine, I think it's probably the best value the region offers. This wine has a super-fine mousse and obvious yeasty bread aromas. Pear, brioche and touch of strawberry-split on the palate. Works without food. — 2 years ago

A Thanksgiving miracle! Was so worried that this bottle corked by the staining on the cork, but is all ended well! The fruit is barely there on this bottle from my favorite vineyard (Volcanic Hill) from Diamond Creek. Still an immense presence and complexity after decanting for 4 hours. Time had made this bottle a little more delicate than the others, but unmistakable Diamond Creek. Glasses were raised to Al and Boots as the vineyard has now been bought by Roederer. I believe it is in food hands. — 3 years ago

The 3rd wine at the Louis Roederer dinner on Friday night at the Downs Club. Very much a minimalist wine with input from designer, Phillipe Starck - no malo, no dosage, biodynamic. Only made in ripe warm years from the Cumieres vineyard. A little too bone dry for my palate. — 3 months ago

Roederer Estate and Scharffenberger both call Anderson Valley home and together yield some of California’s most consistently delicious and affordable sparkling wines. Of the couple, Scharffenberger vinifies rounder, more lush wines. Flavors of ripe pear skin, white rose, and baked apple find their footing against a backdrop of yeast, cheese rind, and patisserie in the image of Champagne. The perfect wedding reception wine or Tuesday night sparkler for its tremendous quality to cost ratio. — 6 years ago
