Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Roger Coulon 1er Cru Extra Brut L’Hommee is a blend that combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, this Premier Cru Champagne displays a bright straw yellow colour and a fine perlage. The nose reveals clear fruity aromas intertwined with distinct pastry notes. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture, supported by excellent savouriness and pronounced freshness. The dry taste best expresses the rigour of the Traditional Method, ensuring a long and inviting finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Montagne de Reims, from parcels located in Vrigny, Coulommes-la-Montagne and Pargny-lès-Reims. Roger Coulon operates as a Récoltant Manipulant, directly overseeing the entire production process. The vineyards are managed using rigorous organic farming and agroforestry practices, respecting the natural rhythms of the ecosystem. This approach guarantees highly expressive grapes, allowing the glass to faithfully convey the identity of the terroir and a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture.
How it is produced
Vinification strictly follows the Traditional Method through careful bottle refermentation. The prolonged ageing on the lees imparts the characteristic creamy consistency and enriches the flavour profile of the Champagne. To preserve the original expression of the fruit, no filtration or fining is carried out. The low sugar dosage defines an Extra Brut profile, ensuring a direct sip that fully enhances the integrity of the raw material.
