A grower Champagne from one of Ambonnay's quiet masters. Eric Rodez trained at Krug before taking over his family estate, and he farms his 6 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards organically and biodynamically across some three dozen tiny plots. This Blanc de Blancs is all Chardonnay grown in a village far better known for Pinot Noir, which is exactly what makes it interesting: it has the chalky cut of Chardonnay but the broad-shouldered weight of Ambonnay underneath. Built on a 2021 base with a deep library of reserve wines blended in, it drinks beautifully now and over the next several years.

"Light yellow. Poached pear, chamomile, sweet butter and toasty lees on the deeply scented nose. Picks up a spicy nuance with air, which adds lift to the ripe orchard fruit and candied fig flavors. In a powerful style but not lacking for vivacity. Finishes toasty and long, with a hint of grilled nuts and very good length. I also tasted the same wine from Lot L0912 and found it somewhat weightier and spicier." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

92 points

"Offering up aromas of smoky green orchard fruit, hazelnuts and waxy citrus that are delicately framed by their time in barrel, the latest rendition of Rodez's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy wine with a bright spine of acidity, a frothy mousse and a long, vinous and subtly oak-inflected finish. Unsurprisingly, its Ambonnay origins and Rodez's style mark it just as much as its cépage." —William Kelley

The eighth generation of Champagne growers in Ambonnay, Eric Rodez trained at the legendary Krug house and brought that same precision to his family's biodynamic vineyard. His champagnes are proof that grower Champagne can stand with any house wine—elegant, mineral-driven, and entirely natural in their expression of the terroir.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters, raw bar, fried chicken, aged Comte, roast chicken, sushi.

Tasting Profile

Dry and chalky with citrus and toasted-bread depth. Fuller-bodied than most Blanc de Blancs thanks to its Ambonnay home. Crisp, layered, ready to drink.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
