Champagne 1er Cru Heri Hodie Extra Brut

What kind of wine it is

This Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs expresses the true vocation of its terroir. Crafted using the Traditional Method, an essential factor for the high quality of its bubbles, this Champagne features the Pinot Meunier grape variety, partly sourced from a precious perpetual reserve. In the glass, it appears straw yellow with a fine and continuous perlage. The bouquet reveals clear fruity aromas, accompanied by fresh citrus notes and fragrant hints of yeast. On the palate, the strictly unfiltered production process is evident in a complex, rich and remarkably persistent taste.

Where it comes from

The roots of this wine lie in the Montagne de Reims, with vineyards spread across Vrigny, Coulommes-la-Montagne and Villers-Allerand. Roger Coulon, now in its ninth generation, stands out for its use of organic practices and agroforestry systems, aiming for the natural balance of the soil. This mindful viticulture results in a pure and taut Extra Brut style, capable of conveying the energy of the land into the glass and enriching the flavour profile with a pronounced citrus character.

How it is produced

The cuvée is created from a meticulous blend and is entirely crafted following the Traditional Method, a crucial step for achieving superior aromatic development. The prise de mousse is followed by a long maturation on the lees, a phase that defines the finesse of the perlage and adds breadth to the palate. The decision to finish the Champagne without clarification procedures ensures an intact flavour profile, enhancing the natural structure of the wine. The low final dosage perfectly respects its dry and vibrant character.
