Tasting notes
"Coulon's salmon-onion colored NV Rose de Saignée Rosélie is pure Pinot Meunier and offers a very clear, aromatic bouquet of perfectly ripe red fruits. Round and intense on the palate, this is an elegant, wide and generous yet dry and piquant rosé with a clear, fresh and salty finish. Pretty complex and fine, with a long, well-structured finish, this should be great with smoked salmon or red fruit desserts that are not too sweet." Stephen Reinhardt - The Wine Advocate

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.
