Why go
Ask Champagne Éric Rodez for an appointment in Ambonnay, subject to the estate's availability. Cuvée des Crayères offers a clear Pinot Noir–Chardonnay comparison, but bottles are not guaranteed for purchase on site.
About Champagne Éric Rodez
Champagne Éric Rodez welcomes visitors in Ambonnay only by appointment, and the producer says it cannot accept every request. Contact the estate before making it the anchor of a trip; on-site bottle sales are not guaranteed because much of the wine is allocated.
What makes the visit worthwhile
The estate works across vineyard, press house, winery and cellar in the village. Its Cuvée des Crayères blends 60% Pinot Noir with 40% Chardonnay from several vintages. Ask which edition is being poured: the share of oak-vinified and reserve wines changes, so a release-specific explanation is more helpful than one fixed formula.
Practical details
The address is 4 rue de Isse, Ambonnay. The Champagne trade directory lists cellar visits and tastings, while the house requires advance agreement and makes its hours available on request. Confirm timing, tasting and any purchase opportunity directly with the producer.
