Champagne Roger Coulon

Plan Champagne Roger Coulon as a Vrigny estate visit, rather than treating it as a Reims city tasting. The family welcomes visitors by appointment at 12 rue de la Vigne du Roy; Eric and Isabelle Coulon work with their children Edgar and Louise.

What to compare

Ask which cuvées are available. Heri-Hodie is based on a Meunier solera begun in 1995. Esprit de Vrigny takes a different route as a zero-dosage Premier Cru Champagne. The estate also works with organic viticulture and agroforestry, which gives the tasting a vineyard context.

Arrange the format

The Champagne trade body's visitor listing describes a guided estate tour covering the cellar, press, winery and wine library, followed by a tasting. Confirm the exact route, timing and wines directly with the producer before travelling from Reims. Its vineyard holdings extend beyond Vrigny, but the visitor address is in that village.
