From: Vrigny,Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Varietal: Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

Taste: Aromas of orchard fruits such as pear and yellow plum intertwine with hints of dried apricot and linden blossom with subtle undertones of brioche and spices. A medium to full-bodied profile with a deep core of fruit flavors. The palate starts with persistent notes of ripe orchard fruits, complemented by nuances of honeycomb and a touch of smoke. Its ample and fleshy texture is balanced by terrific acidity and a bright, saline finish.

Pairing: Champagnes like L'Hommée are incredibly versatile. They bridge the gap between fresh, mineral-driven pairings (like raw seafood) and richer, umami-packed dishes (like truffle risotto). The key is to balance the wine’s acidity, texture, and complexity with complementary flavors in the dish.

About: Champagne Roger Coulon was established in 1806 in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. For over two centuries, the Coulon family has cultivated their vineyards in Vrigny, transitioning from still wine production before the French Revolution to a full-scale Champagne house.

The domaine spans 11 hectares, meticulously divided into 115 micro-parcels across five Premier Cru villages: Vrigny, Coulommes-la-Montagne, Pargny-les-Reims, Villers-Allerand, and a portion in the Grand Cru village of Verzenay. This diverse terroir, characterized by varying soil compositions and exposures, allows the Coulon family to produce champagnes with distinct identities, each parcel contributing unique characteristics to the final blends.
