Roederer Estate's sparkling wines are produced using estate-grown grapes exclusively from the winery's own 580-acre (230 ha) vineyard and special oak-aged reserve wines are added to each blend. The winery produces four sparkling wines: the multi-vintage Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut, debuted in 1988, the Brut Rosé and Roederer Estate's vintage têtes de cuvée, L'Ermitage and L'Ermitage Rosé. All distribution for Roederer Estate is managed by the company Maisons Marques & Domaines.
