For almost three centuries now, the Rodez family has been attached to the land of Champagne, and more particularly to the terroir of Ambonnay and its charming little village, whose narrow streets are lined by the walls of the wine estates.
Eric Rodez and his wife Martine have been farming 6 hectares of vines according to the principles of Organic Farming and Biodynamics for several years, and have since handed over to their son Mickael, who embodies the ninth generation.
The Rodez family comes from a long line of winegrowers where each generation has contributed to chiseling the sumptuous terroir where they are based, so that it expresses all its richness. Today, the vineyard at Ambonnay on Montagne de Reims comprises 6 hectares, 4 of Pinot Noir and 2 of Chardonnay. Respect for and full development of the vines have always been a daily concern for them, which is why Eric Rodez committed its Domaine to converting to organic and biodynamic farming in 2009. In 2012, the winery was awarded "High Environmental Value" certification.

The Cuvée Empreinte Blanche 2011 is a remarkable expression of the Grand Cru terroir of Ambonnay. This wine, always Millésimé, is the result of a blend of 5 to 7 parcels from the Eric Rodez vineyard.
The vinification in small oak barrels, the absence of malolactic fermentation, the refusal of industrial chilling and the absence of filtration testify to the house's desire to pRéserver the authenticity and ''vibrations'' specific to Ambonnay.
Thus, Empreinte Blanche 2011 offers a unique sensory experience, marked by the purity of Chardonnay. It is a testament to the mastery of and respect for the terroir, where the desire to preserve the natural characteristics of the grape intact translates into a rich, nuanced expression of the varietal.
On tasting, Empreinte Blanche reveals complex aromas and a well-defined structure, with a finesse and elegance characteristic of Eric Rodez.
Here is a wine that expresses not only its vintage but also its place of origin with exceptional precision. This is a Champagne that can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by refined dishes capable of complementing its complexity and finesse.
