Known for estate-grown méthode traditionnelle wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, Roederer Estate produces Quartet Brut, Quartet Rosé, L’Ermitage and L’Ermitage Rosé from its own vineyards in this cool, fog-influenced region.

Opens with aromas of pear, gentle spice and hazelnut, supported by a fine, persistent mousse. The palate is crisp, elegant and lightly fruity, combining fresh orchard fruit with subtle savoury depth from oak-aged reserve wines. Its texture is refined and poised, with lively acidity giving shape and lift. The finish is clean, precise and lasting, showing the finesse and depth expected from Roederer Estate’s Anderson Valley sparkling wines.
Excellent as a premium aperitif or by-the-glass sparkling option, Quartet NV works well with eggs Benedict, smoked salmon blinis, sushi, tempura prawns, mild Thai dishes, grilled white fish or roast chicken with a light cream sauce.
'Tasted blind. Typically toasty nose. Baked-apple fruit, cream and spice. Soft and frothy on the palate with delicious primary fruit that has a sweetness that seems complemented by dosage. Long finish with gently lingering autolysis.' 17pts, Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2025
