Champagne 1er Cru Extra-Brut "L'Hommée" | Wine of LA MAISON Roger Coulon

Champagne 1er Cru Extra-Brut "L'Hommée" | Wine from LA MAISON Roger Coulon

LA MAISON Roger Coulon rooted for more than two centuries in Vrigny, a 1er Cru terroir from the Montagne de Reims, embodies tradition and innovation. Under the direction of Isabelle and Éric Coulon, supported by their children Louise and Edgar, la maison is resolutely committed to an environmental approach, adopting agroforestry on its 11-hectare vineyard, a vision turned towards the future. The elaboration of their cuvées is a work of precision, with each grape variety and plot vinified separately, whether in stainless steel vats or oak barrels, adapting to the characteristics of each harvest. LA MAISON Roger Coulon is distinguished by the creation of authentic, elegant and pure champagnes, embodying the excellence of this exceptional family estate.

The Champagne 1er Cru Extra-Brut "L'Hommée" from la maison Roger Coulon is a living testimony to the estate's historic terroir. The vines, 50 years old and planted in 1806, flourish between 150 and 230 metres above sea level on soils of Thanician sand and white chalk with flint. Grown in natural organic viticulture and agroforestry, they offer a unique balance and depth that characterize great champagnes.
The vinification is natural, marked by a long pressing followed by a short settling to preserve the substance and phenolic compounds. No chaptalization is practiced. Alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in demi-muids for 10 months, and the wine is clarified naturally before being bottled without fining or filtration. It benefits from a minimum ageing of 5 years.
The blend, dominated by 60% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir, is completed by reserve wines aged in barrels (5%). This Extra Brut champagne is dosed at 3g/L, underlining its pure and refined character. L'Hommée stands out for its harmony and elegance, faithfully representing the distinctive expression of its terroir and the craftsmanship of la maison Roger Coulon.
