Coteaux Champenois, Roger Coulon Vrigny Rouge

Roger Coulon’s Coteaux Champenois Vrigny Rouge is made exclusively from organically grown Meunier grapes in Vrigny, harvested by hand and rigorously sorted right in the vineyard. Vinification is carried out with whole bunches, using semi-carbonic maceration and foot treading, while fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts. This is followed by 22 months of aging in small oak barrels, without the addition of sulfites. In the glass, it expresses a clean and elegant profile with red fruit, subtle herbal notes, and a distinct minerality. The use of whole clusters adds further aromatic complexity and structure, while the overall impression balances elegance and depth. A wine with excellent aging potential, it pairs perfectly with cold cuts, as well as heartier dishes such as fried liver.
