Éric Rodez Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru
Related Collection
Origin
Country: France
Region and Appellation: Champagne
Product Description
From the esteemed Ambonnay Grand Cru vineyards, Éric Rodez's Blanc de Blancs showcases the purest expression of Champagne's chalky terroir through 100% Chardonnay. This multi-vintage masterpiece blends 5-6 harvests (typically 15 separate wines) to achieve remarkable consistency and depth year after year.
Tasting Profile
A luminous golden hue introduces an aromatic symphony of white peach, citrus zest, and brioche, with subtle oak-derived nuances of toasted almond. The creamy yet vibrant palate delivers flavors of preserved lemon, honeydew, and wet stone, carried by a fine mousse to a long, mineral-laced finish.
Winemaking Distinction
- Barrel fermentation: 70% aged in small oak for texture without overt oakiness
- Partial malolactic (40%): Preserves freshness while allowing complexity
- Low dosage (1.5 g/L): Highlights the purity of Grand Cru fruit
- Extended lees aging: Develops richness while maintaining precision
Legacy in Every Bottle
As former cellar master at Krug, Éric Rodez applies his blending expertise to create this biodynamically farmed (Demeter-certified) cuvée. The wine's muscular yet refined character reflects Ambonnay's chalk soils and the house's sustainable practices.
