Champagne Roger Coulon, Premier Cru Vrigny, RM

An excellent producer family with authentic and complex wines

The Coulon family is well known in La Montagne de Reims region and is part of the small artisanal producer association Trait’d’Union, to which also belong other top producers such as Selosse, Larmandier-Bernier, Jacquesson and Egly-Ouriet. From their base in the charming village of Vrigny, Champagne Roger Coulon crafts some of the most authentic and complex wines available today and is living proof that great Champagne does not begin and end with the Big Brands, as anyone who has tasted a bottle of Roger Coulon can testify!

Since 1806, this dynamic family has been growing grapes in the La Montage de Reims region, and Edgar and his sister Louise Coulon represent now the ninth generation of the family to be involved in the production of quality Champagne.

Coulon's vineyards and beautiful wine cellar are pristinely maintained, and their continuing success is a result of his monumental hard work, both in the vineyard and winery. Their entire vineyard is certified to organic production. They produce natural wines with the absence of filtration, finings and the strict use of indigenous yeast from the vineyard. The bottle labels show the vine cadastre of Vrigny, the parcels of the Coulon family in black, and those in gold that make up the cuvée. The back label also contains relevant information such as the disgorgement date and the dosage.

The Coulon family shows great pride in their old Pinot Meunier vines and their superb selection of artisan Champagnes, which show great richness, depth and terroir-based complexity. Annual production of app. 95’000 bottles.
