ROGER COULON ROGER COULON L’Hommée Champagne Brut Premier Cru

Description

Champagne Brut Premier Cru Roger Coulon L’Hommée of comes from the oldest and most emblematic particles of the domaine and is in all respects the image of its creator, Eric Coulon. From a blend of 35% Pinot Noir, 60% Chardonnay aged in oak barrels.

I vigneti utilizzati sono solo quelli più vecchi, quelli in cui ancora si utilizzava l’antica misura agraria “L’Hommée”, ovvero la misura che indicava quanta vigna un uomo riusciva a lavorare in una giornata, termine che ha quindi dato il nome al vino.

Aging in the cellar for a minimum of five years.

From the slow and thin bubbles, the color is gold, clear and brilliant; on the nose it is fragrant and complex with notes of toasted bread and hints of cherry, strawberry, spices and vanilla; initially on the palate it is frank and intense, elegant and balanced, later the scents evolve with a finish of gingerbread, brioche and vanilla.

Maturation prospects: already expressive, at best in 12/24 months, with an evolutionary curve around 7/10 years. Pairings: it goes well with foie gras, fish and small feathered animals.

Production area: in the municipalities of Vrigny, Coulommes la Montagne and Pargny les Reims, montagne de Reims, AOC Champagne – clayey-limestone soils.
