Tasting notes
A shiny gold colour and a fine and creamy effervescence introduce a tasty tasting. The bouquet is fruity and floral with orchard fruits, dry apricots, linden and spices seduce the nose. On the palate, the aromas are intense and persistent. L'Hommée is élégant, round, charming and mineral. This cuvée pairs perfectly with both, an aperitif or a refined diner (langoustine from Brittany, Saint Jacques, Ravioles with black truffle).
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.
