Product Description

From the chalk-rich slopes of Ambonnay Grand Cru, Éric Rodez crafts this exquisite Blanc de Noirs using 100% Pinot Noir from his biodynamic vineyards. As former winemaker at Krug, Rodez brings unparalleled expertise to this multi-vintage blend (5-6 harvests) that showcases the power and precision of Champagne's noblest black grape.

Tasting Profile

The wine presents a luminous golden hue with delicate pink reflections, offering an aromatic symphony of baked golden apple, candied citrus peel, and warm brioche, accented by subtle notes of fig compote and almond paste. On the palate, it reveals remarkable depth and tension - ripe stone fruit flavors intertwine with wet chalk minerality and a whisper of sea salt, all carried by a vibrant acid line and the creamiest of mousses. The finish persists with laser-like precision, leaving impressions of lemon zest and crushed flint that speak eloquently of Ambonnay's terroir.

Winemaking Distinction

  • Barrel fermentation: 70% aged in small oak for structure without oak dominance
  • Partial malolactic: Only 30% undergoes malo, preserving electric freshness
  • Extended lees contact: 6+ years maturation for unparalleled complexity
  • Minimal dosage: 1.5 g/L honors the purity of fruit

Vineyard Philosophy

Rodez's biodynamic practices and innovative use of aromatherapy in his 6-hectare estate yield grapes of extraordinary concentration. The wine's muscular yet refined character perfectly balances Ambonnay's power with the house signature finesse.
