Description
A refined and well-balanced Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut champagne by Roger Coulon
The producer
Since its creation in 1806, the Roger Coulon Champagne House has advocated a deep respect for the environment. Produced without chemical inputs and according to the precepts of organic farming, the vintages of this house express the finesse and identity of the great terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
The vineyard
Les Hauts Partas Blanc de Blancs Grand cru Extra Brut 2015 by Roger Coulon is a cuvée made from grapes exclusively from the eponymous plot located in Chouilly, an illustrious terroir of Champagne (Côte des Blancs). Exposed to the north-east at an altitude of 150 metres on a hillside, these 45-year-old vines are planted on soils composed mainly of Campanian chalk, which gives this champagne its exceptional purity.
The vintage
A mild and rainy autumn in 2014 was followed by a milder winter and a particularly hot and dry summer. The rainy spells at the end of the summer were beneficial for the vineyard. The harvest was cool and dry, and the grapes were healthy and boasted a high quality.
Vinification and ageing
Natural vinification. Long pressing before a deliberately short settling period in order to preserve the wine and the phenolic compounds. No chaptalisation. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in small barrels at low temperature, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. Aged in barrels for 10 months. Natural clarification before bottling without fining or filtration. Aged for a minimum of 7 years. This Blanc de Blancs champagne is dosed at 1g/L.
The blend
Les Hauts Partas Blanc de Blancs Grand cru Extra Brut 2015 by Roger Coulon is a 100% Chardonnay.
