Eric Rodez Blanc de Noirs Edition 35 NV represents the craftsmanship of a producer rooted in organic and biodynamic practices, with vineyards in Ambonnay Grand Cru. This blend comprises 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from multiple vintages, including 26% from 2018 and 24% from 2017. The vinification process utilises 90% oak barrels, with a minimal 10% undergoing malolactic fermentation to preserve fresh fruit character. Dosage is set at 2.0g/l. On the nose, it offers a powerful and complex bouquet, marked by a rich array of red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), beautifully integrated with notes of dried and candied fruits, toasted brioche, hazelnut, and subtle savory or chalky minerality. There can be hints of baked apples and a distinct vinous character due to a high proportion of the wine being vinified in small oak barrels (often around 75-90%) and a significant portion not undergoing malolactic fermentation.

Vinous
Glass-staining ruby. The nose offers a drop-dead sexy array of berry, floral and mineral scents, along with nuances of spicecake and black olive. Impressively deep and sweet but also energetic, displaying dense red and dark fruit liqueur flavors and sexy floral pastille and baking spice qualities. The mineral quality comes on strong with air and lends lift and urgency to the very long, spicy finish. This is slightly more elegant than the Comte des Fous but just as potent.Josh Raynolds1st January 2010
