Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut by Eric Rodez is an organic wine that fully expresses the character of Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays a pure gold colour, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet opens with notes of fruit and brioche, revealing hints of peach and citrus as it breathes. On the palate, it is muscular and long, while maintaining a delightful finesse. This Extra Brut, produced according to the Traditional Method, pairs perfectly with shellfish, fish, starters and cheeses, enhancing the tasting experience with absolute clarity.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the prestigious Champagne region. Eric Rodez's approach is based on strict organic and sustainable farming, designed to protect the ecosystem and restore the authenticity of the terroir. The Champagne area guarantees high standards related to soils and viticulture. The exclusive use of Chardonnay grapes gives rise to a distinctive Blanc de Blancs, capable of translating the unique features of the territory into a glass with an elegant and vertical profile.
How it is produced
This cuvée is created from a complex blend of numerous base wines, which gives great complexity to the whole. Vinification takes place mainly in small oak barrels, broadening the aromatic spectrum. To maintain vibrant tension, part of the must does not undergo malolactic fermentation. The secondary fermentation in bottle follows the principles of the Traditional Method, while the very dry dosage defines a pure sip, consistent with the rigorous production philosophy of Eric Rodez.
History and Curiosities
The excellence of this organic Champagne is born from the union of fifteen wines from five or six different vintages. The structure of the Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut gains complexity thanks to 70% of the must being vinified in small oak barrels and 40% not undergoing malolactic fermentation. Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker, this cuvée enhances the purity of Chardonnay with a fine and persistent perlage. A masterful interpretation of the traditional method, perfect for accompanying special moments with delightful and muscular finesse.
