Champagne Eric Rodez, Blanc de Blancs Edition 39 NV

£78.00

Precise, fresh and beautifully mineral, with the 93% chalk soils of Ambonnay coming through clearly. The 75% blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the acidity vibrant and gives the wine its backbone and energy.The 2020 vintage is the largest single component at 31%, bringing generous weight to the palate and ripe stone fruit, balanced by the more citrus-driven 2021 and the freshness of the 2022.

The palate is creamy but still very fresh, rich but precise. A lovely balance between depth and tension, and a very good example of Rodez's Blanc de Blancs style.

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.
