Eric Coulon is a true icon of the La Montagne de Reims region and someone well worth getting to know. From his base in the village of Vrigny, he crafts some of the most authentic and complex champagnes available today. Eric exemplifies the fact that exceptional Champagne extends beyond the Grand Marques, a truth that anyone who has experienced a Roger Coulon Champagne can confirm.

Champagne Roger Coulon Esprit de Vrigny is a Premier Cru blend of Chardonnay (30%), Pinot Meunier (30%), and Pinot Noir (40%) grown in Montagne de Reims (Vrigny). Typical of this récoltant is the lower alcohol percentage—typically 1% less than one might expect. This Champagne demands your attention and time. Above all, it is a structure—an exploration of geometry, a matrix of planes intersecting and guiding your mind in different directions: toward flavors, folds, and puzzles. There’s the snap of salt and lemon, followed by the slow, languid lick of caramel. Notes of coffee bubblegum, mushroom earthiness, and membrillo sweetness emerge before the finish soars into the ether. Average production is around 2,500 bottles. Recommended for consumption from 2024 to 2034.
For nine generations, La Maison Roger-Coulon has stood proudly on the slopes of Montagne de Reims in Vrigny. Today, this family estate is run by Isabelle and Eric Coulon, alongside their children, Edgar and Louise. Their shared mission is to produce Champagne guided by three core principles: authenticity, precision, and rigor. With meticulous attention to detail, the domaine carefully tends to 115 micro-plots spread across 11 hectares and has recently achieved organic certification, recognizing its chemical-free practices and agroforestry initiatives.
