Ignoring trends since 1984, Eric tends his vineyards in organic and biodynamic viticulture, famously using aromatherapy on his 6 hectares in Ambonnay Grand Cru. While there is a myriad of rising stars in the region producing great Champagnes, Eric has been a pioneer in more ways than just using organic viticulture, he is an Iconic grower that inspired the new generation. The 2024 release marks a fresh start for Champagne Eric Rodez. Together with Eric we have identified a way to help all trade professionals, collectors, and consumers to better identify his “Vins d’Auteur” range year after year, The appearance of the Edition number on the label will offer better traceability and visibility in the market.
