Eric Rodez Blanc de Noir Champagne

Overview: This brut Champagne is produced from Pinot Noir harvests only.  For this cuvée, the winemaker generally blends 5 to 6 vintaged productions to make sure the cuvée will keep its character.  It is even better-balanced and meatier than the Blanc de Blancs.  It is complex, with a slight hint of red fruit, very elegant, offering a longer finish.
