Staff Pick Notes

The right bottle of Champagne with some age on it is a very wonderful thing indeed. Eric Rodez has graciously crafted this 100% Pinot Noir stunner for us most fortunate wine consumers. Vinified in small oak barrels, with neither malolactic fermentation, cold stabilisation, nor filtration, this wine is designed to highlight the terroir of his land.

Red fruits, mushrooms, toast and a hint of tamari!
