Ambonnay

100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/lSince its initial release in 2019, the house Marguet's base cuvée. An exquisite calling card made from 100 percent Chardonnay from Vrigny, fresh and lively.

60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay Dosage: 6g/l Blended with 12 diverse base wines from 4 vintages   45-50% Reserve wine (20-25% vinified in small barrel)   Terroirs: Terroir d'Ambonnay: Les Bermonts, Le Moulin, Les cheminots, Les Grandes Ruelles, Le Noyer saint pys, les secs, Les Fournettes, La pierre aux larrons, Les agusons, Les Beurys.... Average age of the vines: 30 Years Vinification: 70% in enamel tank, 30% in old barrel, 75% with malolactic fermentation, matured for up to 7 years on the lees   Domaine's entry level champagne, one that nonetheless displays a challenging complexity. Crisp & fruity (primarily apple) and nuanced.   60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, Dosage 6g/l Nicola FEB24: Ultra strong, complex, slightly matured flavors but spot on, extremely long, multi-layered, also a bit of a stony element which makes it even more interesting. Ultra balanced. Moritz FEB24: Even with the "entry-level" cuvée, one can feel the elegance and complexity that Eric skillfully wants to encapsulate in the bottle. Everything is very delicate, not too loud, yet very present. A harmony of marzipan, roasted nuts, chalk, and a light smokiness greets the senses. The palate brings out more of the fresh, chalky flavors, which suits the cuvée extremely well. An extremely long finish ties the whole package together. What is sold as an entry-level at Maison Rodez, without overstepping, could be the pinnacle in many other houses. Tasting FEB20: Very strong, made another leap forward since tasting a year ago, very dense, great  Tasting JUL21: very complex release, very nutty, very layered, browned apple, slight ripeness, cool, great depth (Eric's language for minerality, chalk contact of vines, mouthfeel).   

76% Chardonnay24% Pinot Noir Dosage: 0 g/lExtremely tension-filled, firmly structured rosé from Ambonnay. A culinary Champagne, much more than just a simple aperitif!No added Sulphur

30% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay vinified as white wine, 46% Pinot Noir vinified as maceration Dosage: 3g/l Average age of the vines: 33 Years Vinification: 80% in wood 40% malolactic fermentation, 60% without 4 years bottle aging Dosage: 3g/l Full-bodied, vinous, food friendly! Nicola FEB24: Ultra-complex, vibrant fruit, very strong energy, such lightness and finesse, there's hardly a better rosé out there. Moritz FEB24: Complex and radiant. Cooked strawberry, strawberry leaf, and earthy umami notes offer an extremely diverse taste experience. The acidity almost dances across the tongue with a lightness that is invigorating. The finish seems endless. A rosé champagne for those who have dismissed rosé as trivial and are open to being pleasantly surprised.  

100% ChardonnayDosage: 1,5g/l Average age of the vines: 32 years. Vinification: 70% used wood, 30% enamel tank; 70% without malolactic fermentation, 30% with.  Terroir: Le noyer St Pys, les Morins, les Genettes, les Champsaults, Les Secs, Les Bermonts, Les Crayères, les Agusons, les Cheminots.   This Blanc de Blanc does not belong to the minimalistic, mineral-driven style, but rather is round and balanced with a touch of fragrant flowers. Complex and nuanced due in part to the barrel influence and a perfect pairing partner at the table — to more than just fish!    Nicola FEB24: A slightly richer release at the moment, very generous, a somewhat noticeable influence of wood, dried fruits, brioche. Moritz FEB24: Light, but very nice reduction, nose and palate reflect each other perfectly. Salty, wet stones, white almond are predominant, with a background of some dried apricot. All very calm. Very subtle, perfectly integrated wood notes. The mousseux is round but precise, and the long finish is very chalky.  

100% Pinot NoirDosage: 1,5g/lAssemblage using 5-6 vintages. Average age of the vines: 32 years  Vinification: 75% used wood, 25% enamel tank; 65% without malolactic fermentation, 35% with. Terroir: Les Beurys du bas, Les goisses, les secs, les fournettes, les genettes, les bas touret, les vaux saint basles, La pierre aux larons, les Bouités, les grandes ruelles. More full-bodied and vinous than the Blanc de Blancs. Complex, deep fruits, and elegant with a long finish. Nicola FEB24: (has those green aromas again that I can't place) Winey, full-bodied, strength, intensity, elegance. Moritz FEB24: Juicy blackberry, licorice, and a nice cardamom spice give the BdN great complexity. On the palate, full-bodied and juicy, but somewhat leaner than the Blanc de Blanc. The tight acidity provides a beautifully long finish. Tasting FEB20: Extremely long, elegant, great pinot fruit, dense, harmonious, balanced, not too heavy, creamy, acidity very well integrated

Balanced with the highest level of elegance, and not a trace of overcompensation from strength. A complexity requiring both time and attention. 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, Dosage 4g   Nicola FEB24: Balance and profound harmony and complexity at its best. Vibrating sensuality, ultra long-lasting. Insane nutty resonance. Moritz FEB24: The Grands Vintages cuvée is very calm and profound. A fine smokiness, light brioche notes, and zesty aromas stand balanced in the glass. The acidity is gripping yet gentle (if that makes sense). The perlage dances over the tongue, and flavors of clementine and salt lemon provide that certain grip. The finish? Ultra-long. The hairs on your arms stand up with each sip. A champagne with a goosebump factor.   Type: Champagne Alcohol content: 12% Net volume: 750 ml Producer's Address: Champagne Eric Rodez, 4 Rue Isse, 51150 Ambonnay, France Allergy Information: Contains sulfites.
