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. Maison Rodez's philosophy is thus guided by this winemaker's common sense, which enables a fine maintenance of biodiversity, ultimately offering Champagnes delivering pleasure and enjoyment.

The winemaking process for this macerated rosé follows a meticulous approach in which skin contact is used as a key tool for aromatic expression. Made primarily from Pinot Noir grapes from the Ambonnay Grand Cru, the must is left to macerate with the skins for a carefully controlled period to extract color, fine tannic structure, and aromatic complexity. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, adding depth and nuance, while the absence or limitation of malolactic fermentation helps preserve a natural tension. The dosage, intentionally subtle, supports the balance without masking the intensity of the fruit.
In the glass, the color stands out with a deep pink hue, featuring slight coppery and orange highlights, a sign of careful extraction and beautifully mature fruit. The effervescence is fine and delicate, contributing to an immediate sensation of freshness despite the wine’s visual richness. The nose is expressive and complex, opening with intense notes of red fruits such as crushed strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, quickly enriched by deeper nuances of black fruits, blood orange zest, and a floral touch reminiscent of fresh rose. With aeration, more spicy and slightly vinous accents emerge, reflecting the maceration process and oak aging. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and textured, with an almost sensual presence. The mid-palate reveals a generous yet perfectly controlled body, where the structure of the Pinot Noir expresses itself with precision. Red fruits dominate, accompanied by a subtle, noble bitterness reminiscent of citrus and candied zest, which adds depth and vitality. The long, lingering finish unfolds on a fresh, slightly salty framework, leaving an impression of depth and contained energy.
