The Rodez family has been producing Champagne in Ambonnay, in the Montagne de Reims since 1757. In 1982, Eric Rodez, after years of experience at the Maison Krug, decided to create his own label. Today the company, which owns approximately 6 hectares of vineyards divided into approximately 36 parcels, is led by Eric together with his son Mickael, the ninth generation of the family.
Eric Rodez's Champagne Blanc De Noirs is produced with only Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Ambonnay vineyards, in an area where this vine gives its best. The assembly involves the use of reserve wine from 5-6 different vintages. Part of the wines are vinified in small oak barrels.
The wine has a bright straw-yellow color with golden reflections and a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose is fragrant and expressive with aromas of red fruits and candied citrus fruits, dried fruit, and light spicy notes. On the palate, it is powerful, elegant, intense and round. It is fresh and well-balanced, with a long, lingering finish. It is very versatile in food pairings and absolutely worth trying with grilled prawns, veal escalope, and tomato tarts.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
