Biodynamic wine made in Ambonnay with Pinot Noir. Eric Rodez is the winemaker, having learned his trade while working in Krug.
This rare bottling from a small plot called Les Beurys in Grand Cru Ambonay where the average vine age is 45 years old. Like all Eric's around 60 wines from 6 hectares of vineyards, this one is also aged separately. Normally, Eric believes that by blending the differently prepared wines, he achieves greater complexity; here he consciously relies on one plot and one vintage. No malolactic fermentation, no transition to industrial cold, no filtration. The role of the winemaker is limited to maintaining nature’s original harmony. This champagne shows all the substance contained in its terroir.
Here you find extremely precise and focused fruit with a sharp mineral edge. Aged in small oak, there is a layered depth that is absolutely incredible. Red fruit, baked bread, floral notes and wild herbal honey carry through on the long, sensual finish. Cellar worthy, if you can keep your hands off it. A Blanc de Noirs at the highest level.
