Eric Rodez
About Eric Rodez
Hailing from a familial lineage of winemakers dating back to 1757, Eric Rodez may be a familiar name to those lovers of top Grande Marque Champagne, having been the winemaker for legendary Krug for many years before taking over his ancestorial holdings.
Located in one of the greatest Grands Crus in the region, the village of Ambonnay, Eric Rodez currently cultivates around 16 hectares of prime vineyards, 9 of which are owned by the family. Split between roughly 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, balance and a respect for viticulture is key to the Rodez approach, as is apparent from the quality of his wines. So much so that Rodez was the very first French estate to receive the Haute Valuer Environmentale certificate in 2012.

Wine Advocate (93)From over 40-year-old Chardonnay vines planted in an east-facing lieu-dit, the 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru La Pierre Aux Larrons was disgorged earlier this year with 2.5 grams per liter dosage. Opening in the glass with inviting aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, dried white flowers and subtle top notes of cognac and pastry cream, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and caressing, its charming core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids and lifted by a pillowy mousse. This is a charming wine from Rodez and one that captures the tenderness of fully mature fruit in a late vintage. |

Jancis Robinson (16)Ambonnay. Bottled spring 2014. 95% fermented in oak and 95% no malo. Contains five or six different vintages. Dosage 3.5 g/l. Rather light, inexpressive nose. Delicate, ‘sharp’ Chardonnay on the palate but this somehow lacks a bit of conviction and focus. The acidity is very notable and certainly at the moment it’s a bit too austere for me. |

Jancis Robinson (17)Ambonnay appears on all his front labels. 60% Pinot Noir, spring 2015 bottling of multi vintages back to 2009. Three years on lees. Dosage 4 g/l. Released February 2019. Very tight and harmonious. A very strong statement with massive life and vivacity. No hurry to drink. |

Vinous (93)Bright yellow-gold. An intriguingly perfumed nose evokes poached pear, orange zest, sweet butter and honey, along with a smoky quality and a chalky mineral overtone. Chewy, very deep citrus and orchard fruit flavors are complicated by suggestions of toasted brioche, white truffle and candied fig. Finishes very long and smoky, with resonating floral and mineral qualities. I'd serve this complex Champagne, which comprises wines from 15 different vintages dating back to 1995, with an indulgent, buttery poultry or shellfish dish. |

Wine Advocate (94)Rodez's 2010 Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Ambonnay Les Genettes wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of candied peel, buttered orchard fruit, Meyer lemons, yellow plums and subtle spices, followed by a full-bodied, broad-shouldered but elegantly integrated palate with excellent depth at the core, ripe but racy acids and a creamy mousse, concluding with a sapid, precise finish. This gourmand but beautifully focused, decidedly vinous blanc de noirs is one of the most cohesive, fully realized wines in this set of recent releases, and it appears to possess the structural integrity and balance to last for over a decade. |
