L'Ermitage Brut Anderson Valley Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2015

9.2

Cheers to top quality bubbles from the Anderson Valley of the North Coast of California!

This wine is made with a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

It’s beautifully balanced with layers of autolytic characteristics like toasted almond, pie crust, brioche, biscuit, marzipan, nougat, thanks to 5 YEARS on the lees…

It has a creamy mouthfeel maintaining freshness with notes of white peach, apple, raspberry, lemon zest, white blossom…

Mousse is fine and persistent. — 16 days ago

Great wine, we've enjoyed a lot of them over the years, 2005 is still the most memorable vintage, just exceptional.

@Severn Goodwin Thank you for sharing! We’ll try to hunt down the ‘05, we imagine it was divine! 😍😍🥂🥂 Cheers to exceptional California bubbles!

Under $20 at Costco. Dark fruits, medium bodied, a little sugar, light tannins, easy oak and spice finish. Pairs well with salmon. Crowd pleaser. 👍 — 11 hours ago

I love this bubbly! It has been a long time since I found this bubbly in my area. Creamy, complex, honeyed brioche buns, apples, minerals, lemon, just delicious for the price point! Although, this wine is up 40% from what I use to purchase @ ten years ago! — a month ago

Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — a month ago

Wow, not what I expected for ‘18…

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.
