Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV
The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV is an exceptional sparkling wine that reflects the elegance and precision of Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of Ambonnay. While Ambonnay is traditionally known for Pinot Noir, Eric Rodez’s Blanc de Blancs demonstrates the incredible potential of Chardonnay in this terroir. As a grower-producer with a focus on biodynamic and sustainable practices, Rodez crafts this wine with meticulous care, blending multiple reserve wines to create depth and complexity. The Extra Brut designation, with its low dosage, highlights the purity and finesse of the fruit and terroir.
On the nose, this Champagne reveals an enticing bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with notes of brioche, crushed almonds, and chalky minerality. Subtle hints of white flowers and a touch of spice add further complexity. On the palate, it is precise and vibrant, with a creamy mousse and bright acidity that enhance its refreshing character. The wine’s mineral backbone shines through, leading to a long, crisp finish with lingering notes of citrus and saline.
This Blanc de Blancs is a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with oysters, seared scallops, or sushi, as well as creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert. Its vibrancy and complexity also make it an ideal aperitif. The Eric Rodez Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV is a stunning expression of Chardonnay from Ambonnay, showcasing the artistry and dedication of a grower committed to producing wines of exceptional purity and character.
