Domaine Anderson

Domaine Anderson was founded as part of the Louis Roederer family’s vision to produce world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Anderson Valley. Jean-Claude Rouzaud, patriarch of the Roederer family, recognized the region’s potential in 1981 and initiated vineyard cultivation. Today, winemaker Darrin Low leads the winery’s pursuit of quality, emphasizing site expression and sustainable practices. Vineyard operations are overseen by Bob Gibson, who brings over 30 years of experience managing Anderson Valley vineyards.

The Louis Roederer family's involvement in Anderson Valley began in 1981, when they recognized the region's potential for cultivating premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Domaine Anderson was established to produce 100% estate-grown wines that express the uniqueness of the Anderson Valley terroir

Domaine Anderson is situated in Philo, California, within the Anderson Valley appellation. The winery's estate vineyards span various microclimates, from the warmer areas near Boonville to cooler sites closer to the Mendocino coast, offering a diverse range of terroirs for grape cultivation. ​

The estate comprises several vineyards, including the Dach Vineyard surrounding the winery, which is certified organic and Biodynamic®. The Walraven Vineyard, located in the hills above Boonville, and the Pinoli Vineyard, situated in the cooler "Deep End" of Anderson Valley, are also part of the estate. The winery's viticultural practices focus on sustainability and land stewardship to ensure high-quality grape production.

Domaine Anderson employs minimal intervention techniques to allow the natural expression of the grapes and terroir.Grapes are hand-harvested and gently processed, with fermentation occurring in both wood and stainless steel open-top tanks. The wines undergo malolactic fermentation and are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels to develop complexity and structure.

The winery produces a range of estate-grown wines, including the Estate Chardonnay and Estate Pinot Noir. Single vineyard offerings, such as the Dach Vineyard Pinot Noir and Walraven Vineyard Chardonnay, showcase the distinct characteristics of specific sites within the Anderson Valley.

Domaine Anderson's tasting room is open Thursday through Monday from 11 AM to 5 PM. Guests can experience guided flights of the winery's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay amidst the scenic backdrop of the Anderson Valley. The tasting room is located at 9201 Highway 128, Philo, California.
