House Roger Coulon is located north of Montagne de Reims in the village of Vrigny, and is the result of a long family history dating back to 1806
Isabelle and Eric Coulon are today at the helm of Domaine, accompanied by their children Edgar and Louise who represent the ninth generation. A vineyard that has always been run with enthusiasm and passion in the deepest respect for the land and the vines, giving birth to Champagnes resolutely apart.
An exceptional terroir combined with great expertise
House Roger Coulon is located on the village of Vrigny in Premier Cru north of Montagne de Reims. The vineyard has grown to 10 hectares of vines, which have been farmed using organic methods since 2022, as well as Agroforestry. In fact, the Coulon family takes to heart the pRéserver ecosystem reigning within their vineyards and the self-sufficiency of the soil that makes such harmony possible. Each grape variety flourishes here, including of course Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
When it comes to vinification, the wines are made without chemical inputs, and are neither filtered nor fined. Maison Roger Coulon is currently validating a historic approach for the Champagne region, that of managing a vineyard in Premier Cru exclusively in a natural way.

Isabelle Coulon sums up their approach to the environment as follows: "What's important with our wine is that it can inscribe its identity over time, bear witness to the unique character of our Terroir and offer the expression of a very particular style."
Louise and Edgar both have degrees in wine and spirits business and viticulture and oenology respectively. They thus have in their hands a fine heritage that they will know how to continue to enhance.
The emblematic cuvées of Maison Roger Coulon
La Maison Roger Coulon is distinguished by elegant cuvées of great purity that are divided into two collections: "Référence" and "Empreinte".
The cuvée Heri Hodie Brut Premier Cru, from the "Référence" range, is made exclusively from Pinot Meunier: 90% being Réserve wines and 10% wines of the year. A fine, delicate Champagne, offering lovely fruity and pastry notes that make it a perfect companion for aperitifs, amuse bouche and fish dishes.
The Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru cuvée, from the "Empreinte" range, is a blend of the three grape varieties, aged on lees in oak barrels for 10 months. It is also non-dosed, i.e. sugar-free. It's a particularly well-built Champagne, mineral and beautifully fresh, with notes of flowers, fruit Secs and spices, ideal with refined fish dishes.
And what about the L'Hommée cuvée Extra brut Premier Cru, from the "Référence" range, based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Aged for 10 months in small casks on whole lees, this is a persistent, elegant and gourmet Champagne, which will be perfect with refined dishes such as scallops or truffle ravioli.
