$134.99

The reference bottling from Ambonnay grower Eric Rodez, who learned his craft at Krug before farming his family's Grand Cru parcels organically and biodynamically. Cuvee des Crayeres is named for the chalk (craie) pits beneath the village and blends roughly 60% Pinot Noir with 40% Chardonnay, drawn from an average of 15 different wines spanning five or six vintages. That deep solera-like reserve gives it both freshness and a mature, layered complexity. Built on a 2021 base, it's drinking well now and will hold for several years.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, hard cheeses, salmon.

Tasting Profile

Dry, full and chalky with red-apple fruit and toasty, savory depth from long reserve aging. Generous but fresh. Drinking well now.

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!
