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.
