Brut champagne made only from Pinot Noir. From a terroir that express power and length. This champagne uses 70% of wine which no malolactic fermentation. As with blanc de blancs, this blanc de noirs is made from 5 to 6 vintages vinified in 70% in small barrels.

This champagne has a sustained gold color. The powerful nose is marked by red fruits with hints of dried fruit and candied fruit. The palate is powerful and muscular all in balance with freshness.

no dosage, mineral and tense style. A few go for a bit more power and something with a little oxidative quality, a la Selosse. We love them both. But what if you want something more luxurious and textural, a more golden style? Something sort of like, well . . . Krug?

The answer then, is Champagne Eric Rodez. Eric and his wife Martine are the stewards of estate that has been producing Champagne in the village of Ambonnay for over 250 years. Indeed they are so tied to the village that Eric was the mayor for several years, until 2014. Now joined by their son Mickaël, they have quietly kept up the long tradition of excellence.

Farming is organic with biodynamic principles employed on their 9 hectares of Pinot Noir and 7 of Chardonnay. In the cellar they use large percentages of reserve wines to achieve the elegant, vinous style that they are known for. Eric is a master at blending older vintages into his wines, something he learned during his days as the winemaker at Krug. Yes, the Krug connection is no coincidence!

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"Light gold. Spicy blood orange and strawberry on the nose, with subtle floral pastille and musky herbal character. Bitter cherry and orange pith flavors are impressively concentrated and focused. Aeration brings up a sweeter raspberry quality that carries through a long, incisive, smoke-tinged finish. This powerful Champagne could handle the richest cheeses and charcuterie with ease." -Vinous

"Rodez's NV Blanc de Noirs Brut offers a clear and spicy Pinot bouquet with herbal and cherry aromas. Terribly clear, lean and fresh but with a stunningly long finish, this is a very pure, elegant, highly vital and finesse."
