Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: a rich bouquet of buttered yellow orchard fruit, wheat toast, peach and honeycomb that’s framed by a touch of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a frothy mousse, a generous core of ripe but tangy fruit, brisk acids, chewy structure and a long, lingering finish.

• William Kelley: Inviting aromas of pear, toasted almonds, dried white flowers, honeycomb, peach and nougat. Full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and enveloping, with ripe but racy acids, a pillowy mousse and a nicely layered core.

Producer Information

Eric has an outstanding know-how, and has worked as an oenologist at Krug where his experience of blending small parcels and multi-vintages going back many years and work with oak barrels shows clearly in his Cuvée des Grands Vintages. Rodez also has enriched experience in various wine regions including Alsace where he mastered organic vineyard practices. Eric Rodez Champagne is a thorough reflection of knowledge and dedication with an outstanding quality that can be seen and tasted in each bottle. Eric Rodez is certified with “Haute Valeur Environnmentale” (HVE) which certifies the organic farming, biodiversity and the responsible use of water in the winery.
