Based on the 2020 vintage, the latest release of Coulon's NV Brut Heri-Hodie was disgorged in July 2022 with three grams per liter dosage. Revealing aromas of white flowers, crisp peach and almonds, it's medium-bodied, bright and pillowy, with a sweet core of fruit and a charming, lively profile.
Eric and Isabelle Coulon, seconded by their children Louise and Edgar, farm 11 hectares, divided into fully 120 parcels, in the northern Montagne de Reims, mostly in Vrigny and its environs, where Meunier growing in sandy soils dominates—some of it ungrafted, and all of it, in the Coulon's case, derived from massal selections. Viticulture, certified organic since 2019, is progressive, with cover crops to control humidity and thus mitigate disease pressure (Meunier is susceptible to rot), and it follows agroforestry initiatives; and Eric Coulon, much like his brother-in-law Francis Egly, believes in picking late in pursuit of full physiological maturity. In the cellar, some cuvées see oak barrels (with 10% to 15% new wood), and the target is some 4.5 to five kilograms of pressure, as opposed to the more standard six. These are vinous, intensely flavored Champagnes of considerable character, lent a particular texture and grain by their emphasis on Meunier growing on sand, and I warmly encourage readers to try them.

Disgorged in October 2021 with three grams per liter dosage, Coulon's 2013 Blanc de Noirs Millésime is a blend of ungrafted Pinot Meunier and old-vine Pinot Noir growing in sandy soils (which explains why the Meunier has been spared by phylloxera). Wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, mirabelle plum, clear honey, freshly baked bread and buttery pasty, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with superb intensity without weight, racy acids and an attractive pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long, intensely saline finish, this is a brilliant effort for this singularly underrated producer!

From massale selections growing in the family's historic holdings around the village, the latest rendition of Coulon's NV Brut L'Hommée is based on the 2018 vintage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of peach, ripe citrus, white flowers, buttery pastry and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with racy acids and a bright, penetrating finish.
