Tasting notes
Displaying a beautiful golden hue with fine, delicate effervescence, this Champagne immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of fresh mango and dried apricots, interwoven with pastry and vanilla notes. The palate is ample, lively, and precise, unfolding with refined texture and vibrant energy. Subtle spicy nuances emerge on the mid-palate, leading to an elegant and well-structured finish. A wine of both generosity and finesse.

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.
