Champagne Roger Coulon L'Hommee Extra Brut Premier Cru

A blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Pinot Noir (40%) from Premier Cru villages located on the Montagne de Reims at an altitude of between 150 and 230 metres, on moderate slopes (between 5 and 15°) with an easterly exposure.

The soils are composed of Thanetian sands and white chalk with flint.

Each year, nature determines which plots make up the cuvée.

The terroir dates back more than 2 centuries, with vines over 50 years old planted at 8,500 vines/hectare and cultivated using organic viticulture and agroforestry methods.

Tasting notes

A shiny gold colour and a fine and creamy effervescence introduce a tasty tasting. The bouquet is fruity and floral with orchard fruits, dry apricots, linden and spices seduce the nose. On the palate, the aromas are intense and persistent. L'Hommée is élégant, round, charming and mineral. This cuvée pairs perfectly with both, an aperitif or a refined diner (langoustine from Brittany, Saint Jacques, Ravioles with black truffle).
