Taste: The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut NV is a powerful and expressive Champagne that highlights the richness and depth of Pinot Noir grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of Ambonnay. Known for its exceptional terroir, Ambonnay is celebrated for producing Pinot Noir with intensity and elegance, and Eric Rodez masterfully captures these qualities in this Blanc de Noirs. Crafted with a focus on sustainable and biodynamic viticulture, Rodez blends multiple reserve wines to create complexity and balance, with the low dosage of an Extra Brut allowing the purity of the fruit and terroir to shine.
On the nose, this Champagne opens with aromas of ripe red apples, wild strawberries, and black cherries, layered with notes of toasted hazelnuts, brioche, and a subtle hint of spice. As it evolves, underlying minerality and a touch of red currant add depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with a creamy mousse and vibrant acidity balancing its rich, ripe fruit profile. The chalky soils of Ambonnay impart a distinctive minerality, carrying through to a long, elegant finish with echoes of red fruit and toasted nuts.
This Blanc de Noirs pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from roasted poultry and duck to mushroom risotto or charcuterie. Its complexity and depth also make it an excellent choice alongside aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère. The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut NV is a captivating expression of Pinot Noir from one of Champagne’s most revered Grand Cru villages, reflecting Eric Rodez’s commitment to crafting wines of exceptional character and sophistication.

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!
