Another deep, sonorous nose. Edgy, but not for the sake of edgy. The depth to these Coulon wines is remarkable. Yes, it's toast and layers and fruit and spice and minerals in abundance, but the flavours are almost secondary to the anima of the wine. This is a wine that slams into your whole body; one sip; feel the reverberations. These wines are all about the energy, the resonance, the sheer life force of life. Like copper wires pulsing with electricity. Like a cello solo in the Carnegie Hall. You feel it more than you drink it.
The NV Extra-Brut L’Hommée is a Chardonnay-based cuvée from some of the estate's oldest vines. This release, based on 2018, is bright and articulate. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and a touch of spice are laced together. This understated Champagne is all class. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2022.
From massale selections growing in the family's historic holdings around the village, the latest rendition of Coulon's NV Brut L'Hommée is based on the 2018 vintage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of peach, ripe citrus, white flowers, buttery pastry and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with racy acids and a bright, penetrating finish.
