Description

Champagne Eric Rodez Les Crayères Grand CruThe flagship of Eric's achievements, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru parcels in Montagne de Reims. An assemblage of multiple vintages with up to 25% vinified in small oak barrels and up to 45% reserve wines. The partial blocking of malolactic fermentation adds cleansing acidity, while the oak provides subtle smoky overtones. Crisp and precise, with the red fruit Pinot in perfect balance with the mineral Chardonnay.
