Sparkling dry
A Grand Cru Champagne from the village of Ambonnay, whose complexity and aging potential are shaped by reserve wines from 4–5 different vintages and partial aging in small oak barrels. This cuvée is a classic expression of the local terroir, distinguished by a clear structure, a firm body, and deep minerality.
The aroma is dominated by mineral and floral notes, while the palate reveals red berries (strawberries). Due to 20–25% of the wine being aged in oak, the long finish is complemented by a subtle accent of vanilla.
The Champagne is made from 60% Pinot Noir, providing richness, and 40% Chardonnay, responsible for elegance. The blend is created from twelve different wines. Dosage is 6 g/l.
Recommended to be served at 10–12 °C, this Champagne pairs perfectly with truffle risotto, lobster with butter sauce, and aged Comté cheese.
Medium golden yellow, silver reflections, lively mousse. Delicate nuances of pear, yellow tropical fruit, a hint of blossom honey and candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, a hint of yellow apple, finesse-rich acidity structure, good persistence, a multi-faceted food companion with certain ageing potential. An entry-level Champagne in a class of its own.
Eric Rodez – an eighth-generation grape grower, is based in the kingdom of ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes, the village of Ambonnay, classified as a top Grand Cru. His estate spans just 6 hectares of mature vineyards, from which about 40,000 bottles of champagne are produced annually. Nearly 80 percent of the wine's primary fermentation takes place in Burgundian oak barrels, and a large proportion (around 70%) of reserve wines are used for the champagnes.
The Eric Rodez Champagne house is characterized by sustainability and responsibility towards nature and future generations. They completely avoid herbicides and pesticides, and the vineyards are managed according to organic and biodynamic principles. A minimal amount of sulfites is used, and even some champagne production choices are driven by their environmental friendliness (which is why malolactic fermentation is not blocked).
