Description
 
Éric Rodez, along with his wife Martine, are the 8th generation of a family of Champagne makers, with origins dating back from 1757. The Rodez couple have established a 6.12 hectares domaine located in Ambonnay – and Éric himself was the Mayor of the city from 2008 to 2014 ! Subdivided in 35 different parcels with 62% of Pinot Noir and 38% of Chardonnay, planted in fairly high altitudes (130 meters), this is an ideal set up to grow outstanding Pinot Noir. After a long time working for Champagne Krug as an oenolgist, Éric undoubtably acquired an experience and outstanding know-how in blending. The 9th generation of the Rodez family – Mickaël and Aurélie have recently joined the estate, learning from their parents about this strong heritage.

Offering up aromas of smoky green orchard fruit, hazelnuts and waxy citrus that are delicately framed by their time in barrel, the latest rendition of Rodez's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy wine with a bright spine of acidity, a frothy mousse and a long, vinous and subtly oak-inflected finish. Unsurprisingly, its Ambonnay origins and Rodez's style mark it just as much as its cépage. Wine Advocate 92
