Eric Rodez Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Edition 38
DOZEN: $2,268.00 or $189.00 each
The 38th edition, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs 38 pours a bright yellow/platinum color and is highly toned initially. However, its underlying drive, reminiscent of Ambonnay power, is what gives this wine its character. It has notes of wet stones, lemon oil, fresh Meyer lemon, and white pineapple. It's so much fun to taste, and it's electrifying - the mousse enhances the electricity and energy of the wine yet has fabulous big energy without being austere. It's a beam of bright light, and it has length. AUDREY FRICKE
The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is made mostly from oak-vinified base wines without malolactic fermentation. Smokiness is all that subtly appears on the shy nose. The palate offers exquisitely fine mousse and more smokiness, and this is not your usual Blanc de Blancs because there is more body, more roundness yet boundless elegance. Concentration and depth are worn lightly. Bravo. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. ANNE KREBIEHL
