Roger Coulon
Eric and Isabelle Coulon are esteemed representatives of the eighth generation of the illustrious Coulon family, continuing centuries-old traditions of producing magnificent Champagne in the picturesque region of Vrigny, located in the northwestern part of the Reims Mountain. The history of Roger Coulon winery dates back to 1806. Today, the estate boasts an impressive 10 hectares of vineyards, where three noble grape varieties harmoniously coexist: Pinot Meunier accounts for 40%, while Pinot Noir and Chardonnay each make up 30%. The uniqueness of the vineyards lies in their venerable age — the average vine age reaches 38 years. This is truly rare for the Champagne appellation, where young vines are traditionally preferred. The special value lies in the planting method — using the “massal selection” instead of modern clones. The estate’s ecological approach deserves special attention. Since 2022, the vineyards have been certified as organic. The winery adheres to the principles of natural winemaking: the rejection of chemical additives, absence of filtration and fining allows the full expression of the terroir’s character. The philosophy of production is reflected in Isabelle Coulon’s words: «It is fundamentally important for us that our wines maintain their identity over time, reflect the unique character of our terroir, and embody a special style».
