Tasting notes
This equal part Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blend exhibits extraordinary depth and inimitable character—and leaves a deeply embedded crushed-mineral footprint. And while it is incredibly vinous and powerfully structured, there is always a pulsing elegance to the wine: Rainier cherry, acacia, plums, redcurrant, dried black raspberry, and honeysuckle glide out of the glass, followed by crushed stones, oyster shell, hazelnut, and subtle notes of exotic spice.
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.
