Tasting notes

Disgorged in July 2024 with no dosage, Roger Coulon’s 2018 Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Les Hauts Partas originates from a tiny 0.22-hectare east-facing parcel of pure chalk in Chouilly, planted in the mid-1970s to massal-selection Chardonnay and vinified in used 228-liter barrels. Flamboyant and expressive, it leaps from the glass with aromas of nashi pear, peach, tangerine, and warm fresh bread. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample, and muscular—shaped by the hot, dry summer and later harvest—yet holds its balance with ripe, racy acidity and a fine, low-pressure mousse. It concludes with a generous, lingering finish, offering both power and precision in equal measure.

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.
