Tasting notes
This wine perfectly captures the house signature—a harmonious blend of generous power and crystalline fruit clarity. The nose is deep and vivid, with alluring layers of fresh cream and a subtle gunflint edge. On the palate, it’s vibrant and energetic, bursting with salt-kissed, small-berried red fruits that linger and spark salivation. A wine of tension, precision, and finesse—elegant yet expressive, and crafted for both immediate pleasure and graceful aging.
More About The Winery
Since 1806, the Coulon family has cultivated vineyards in the Premier Cru village of Vrigny, Montagne de Reims. Today, Eric Coulon, the eighth generation, together with his wife Isabelle, continues this legacy while honoring his late father, Roger Coulon, whose name the domaine proudly carries.
The estate farms over 100 individual parcels across 11 hectares in six communes, including holdings in the Côte des Blancs. This mosaic of vineyards, most with prized east-facing exposures, allows for precise, terroir-driven Champagnes. Plantings are dominated by Pinot Meunier (40%), balanced with equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, all farmed with low yields to ensure concentration and depth.
Eric’s philosophy combines respect for tradition and careful innovation: indigenous yeasts, low-intervention vinification, parcel-by-parcel fermentation, and long lees ageing. The result is Champagnes of purity, finesse, and vibrant expression, with cuvées like L’Hommée, Heri-Hodie, and Les Originelles standing out as benchmarks of artisanal grower Champagne.
