House Roger Coulon is located north of Montagne de Reims in the village of Vrigny, and is the result of a long family history dating back to 1806
Isabelle and Eric Coulon are today at the helm of Domaine, accompanied by their children Edgar and Louise who represent the ninth generation. A vineyard that has always been run with enthusiasm and passion in the deepest respect for the land and the vines, giving birth to Champagnes resolutely apart.
House Roger Coulon is located on the village of Vrigny in Premier Cru north of Montagne de Reims. The vineyard has grown to 10 hectares of vines, which have been farmed using organic methods since 2022, as well as Agroforestry. In fact, the Coulon family takes to heart the pRéserver ecosystem reigning within their vineyards and the self-sufficiency of the soil that makes such harmony possible. Each grape variety flourishes here, including of course Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
When it comes to vinification, the wines are made without chemical inputs, and are neither filtered nor fined. Maison Roger Coulon is currently validating a historic approach for the Champagne region, that of managing a vineyard in Premier Cru exclusively in a natural way.
Isabelle Coulon sums up their approach... See more ...
In the heart of the Montagne de Reims, the Roger Coulon Champagne House has been crafting champagnes deeply rooted in their terroir and the passage of time for several generations. In Vrigny, a Premier Cru village historically associated with Meunier, the Coulon family cultivates a vibrant and sensitive approach to wine, blending organic viticulture, agroforestry, and respect for natural balances. Each cuvée seeks to express not only a place, but also a family legacy, a memory passed down from generation to generation.
Heri Hodie, “Yesterday and Today” in Latin, embodies precisely this idea of transmission. A true bridge between past and present, this cuvée draws its identity from a perpetual reserve nourished year after year, like sap flowing through the estate’s history. Made exclusively from Meunier grapes sourced from the Premier Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims, it reveals a particularly elegant and nuanced expression of this grape variety, often associated with indulgence, but here crafted with depth and precision.
The nose opens with restrained generosity, where notes of fresh mango, dried apricot, and ripe yellow fruits mingle with more subtle notes of fine brioche, delicate vanilla, and sweet spices. Upon aeration, nuances of dried flowers, candied fruit, and a slightly smoky touch emerge, reminiscent of the sandy and marly soils of the Thanétien. On the palate, the wine combines fullness and tension with great elegance. The attack, supple and enveloping, quickly gives way to a more energetic structure, carried by precise acidity and a delicately saline texture. Here, the Meunier reveals its full gastronomic potential: generous fruitiness, a velvety texture, and spicy depth, without ever losing its freshness. Aging on whole lees, spontaneous fermentation, and extended aging on racks give the wine a particularly refined sense of depth and complexity.
The low dosage of 3 g/L preserves the clarity of the terroir and highlights the wine’s natural finesse. The long, harmonious finish prolongs notes of spices, dried fruits, and warm chalk in a sensation that is both vinous and airy.
Heri Hodie thus emerges as a Champagne of transmission and resonance, where time acts as a revealer of depth rather than a mere marker of evolution. A cuvée that is both accessible and subtle, ideal as a gourmet aperitif, paired with a fish terrine, shellfish, or delicately spiced cuisine.
