    93pts Vinous - "The NV Extra-Brut L'Hommée is a Chardonnay-based cuvée from some of the estate's oldest vines. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and a touch of spice are laced together. This understated Champagne is all class. Dosage is 3 grams per liter."

    90pts Wine Spectator - "This creamy Champagne is fragrant with baking spice, vanilla and graphite aromatics, accenting flavors of baked apricot, white cherry and green almond. Citrusy acidity cleans the finish. Drink now."

    Aged for five years prior to disgorgement; an equal blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, the last of which is barrel aged for seven months; selected from vineyards in Vrigny and Pargny; this cuvée is yeasty and rich with a bold expression of terroir and is named for the ancient measure of vineyard work performed manually by a single person in a single day.

    ABV: 12%

    Residual Sugar: 3 g/L

    Eric and Isabelle Coulon are the representatives of the eighth generation of the Coulon family to be engaged as recoltant-manipulants, producing Champagne from Vrigny and the surrounding villages in the northwest corner of the Montagne de Reims. They occupy a tiny fringe within a region still largely mired in chemical farming and dominated by the ultra-powerful Grandes Marques: organic viticulture, spontaneous fermentations, low sulfur, and no fining or filtration all allow this estate’s terroirs to speak clearly of the magic that one can encounter on the slopes surrounding Reims.

    Coulon is one of only 6 growers in the élite Trait d’Union, an association committed to expressing terroir and working as naturally as possible. The other members, Egly-Ouriet, Larmandier-Bernier, Sélosse, Prévost, and Jacquesson, are lofty company indeed, with prices far higher than Coulon’s. Their wines strike an uncanny balance between precision and richness, combining penetrating minerality with the boldness and power these red-grape-dominated terroirs deliver at their best.
