Description
Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs 2013 | Wine from the House of Roger Coulon
The House of Roger Coulon, established for over two centuries in Vrigny, a 1er Cru classified terroir of the Montagne de Reims, embodies the perfect harmony between tradition and innovation. Under the direction of Isabelle and Éric Coulon, this family house perpetuates a unique expertise, supported by their children Louise and Edgar, while adopting environmentally friendly practices. As pioneers in organic viticulture and agroforestry, their 11-hectare vineyard is cultivated with respect for the terroir and biodiversity. Each cuvée is meticulously crafted, with the grape varieties and plots vinified separately in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels to respect the specificities of each harvest. The champagnes of the House of Roger Coulon are distinguished by their elegance, purity, and authenticity, a testament to an exceptional family estate.
The Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs 2013 is a remarkable cuvée, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from old vines cultivated in franc de pied on the “Limons” plots in Vrigny and the “Linguets” in Gueux. These plots, situated at an altitude between 100 and 120 meters, benefit from the unique conditions of the Montagne de Reims, capturing the full richness of the terroir. The 2013 vintage is characterized by contrasting climatic conditions, with significant rainfall in spring, a dry summer, and a wet September. This weather endowed the wine with an exceptional freshness and aging potential.
The vinification of this cuvée is carried out with the utmost respect for natural methods: long pressing, short settling to preserve phenolic compounds, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging on lees for 10 months in tanks. This champagne is neither fined nor filtered, to preserve its full purity. The low dosage of 3 g/L accentuates its authentic character and aromatic complexity, after aging for at least 8 years in the cellar.
The Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs 2013 reveals on the nose complex aromas of ripe red fruits, apple, and quince, accompanied by subtle spicy and toasty notes reminiscent of grilled bread. On the palate, it offers a lively attack, followed by a beautiful roundness, with flavors of dried fruits, blackcurrant, and a long, saline finish. Its perfect balance between freshness and structure makes it a wine with great aging potential, ideal for accompanying exceptional moments.
This Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs 2013 pairs magnificently with refined dishes such as scallop carpaccio, caviar, or oysters, roasted poultry, truffle risotto, as well as aged cheeses like Brillat-Savarin or Chaource.
