Champagne Eric Rodez Grand Cru Rose

Eric Rodez, is the 8th generation in his family to produce Champagne, and he has been making Champagne under his own name since 1984. Before working as a Recolte-Manipulant (RM), he first gathered experience in Burgundy and as a cellar master for Krug, where he was responsible for that house's esteemed Grand Cuvée. This period laid the cornerstone for the elements that make his champagne exceptional today: an almost unparalleled mastery of the intricacies of assemblage.

Beyond his technical skills, he is also a man wholeheartedly devoted to his region, working tirelessly to promote the image and quality of wine making in Champagne. And if that isn't enough, he's also mayor of Ambonnay.

Eric Rodez Description

Champagne with heart, this cuvee is full of generosity, combining power, great vinosity and finesse. Fruit from blending of macerated wines for the fullness, and Chardonnay for elegance and freshness. Average assembly is from 50-55% of reserve wines and 80% of wines produced in small barrels.

Color marked by the maceration of Pinot Noir. The nose is complex, powerful, long, marked by red berries. The palate is smooth, powerful, with hints of subtle oak.
