The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Grandes Vintages NV is a stunning expression of Ambonnay’s Grand Cru terroir, showcasing the artistry and precision of one of Champagne’s most talented grower-producers. This cuvée is a blend of carefully selected vintage wines from exceptional years, creating a Champagne with remarkable depth, complexity, and balance. Crafted from a combination of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay (30% 2017 base, 70% reserve solera), the wine benefits from Eric Rodez’s dedication to biodynamic and sustainable practices, and the low 2 g/l dosage of Extra Brut highlights the purity and finesse of the fruit.  

On the nose, the Grandes Vintages reveals an intricate bouquet of ripe orchard fruits such as golden apple and pear, complemented by notes of citrus zest, toasted brioche, roasted hazelnuts, and a touch of honeyed spice. Subtle floral tones and chalky minerality add further complexity. On the palate, it is rich and layered, with a creamy mousse and bright acidity that enhance its freshness and precision. The wine’s mineral backbone and elegant structure lead to a long, refined finish with lingering notes of citrus, nuts, and subtle toasty nuances.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from lobster and crab to roasted poultry or mushroom risotto. It also complements aged cheeses and charcuterie with ease. The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Grandes Vintages NV is both approachable now and capable of further aging, developing even greater complexity over time. It is a testament to Eric Rodez’s skill as a master blender and his dedication to creating Champagnes of extraordinary depth and character.

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 94
"The NV Extra Brut Grands Vintages is a Pinot Noir-dominant blend, fully fermented in oak and with blocked malolactic fermentation. Apple blossom appears first, followed by gentle creaminess and aromas of red plum and Mirabelle, all uniting into a fragrant nose. The palate is alive with smooth foam and presents a rounded ripeness that is immediately countered by vivid, bright freshness. Salt, fruit, creaminess, yeast, and notions of toasted hazelnut are all illuminated by super-bright freshness. A lovely contrast between density, richness and acidity makes this utterly mouthwatering and compelling. A most gastronomic proposition. The salty length is just so delicious. Lot 04/2023." -Vinous
