Heritage is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier from the “Les Champs Chevalier” vineyard parcel in Vrigny, Premier Cru AOC Champagne.
Maison Coulon pours immense attention into its winemaking process, as it has since its establishment 100 years ago, with an 18-month sur lie maturation in oak ovals, and 15 years’ minimum ageing in the cellars following tirage.
It appears a subtle satin-gold, whose effect is heightened by a long-lingering, delicate bead. The nose opens to reveal toasty notes flanked by vanilla bean and brioche. Pronounced aromatics mark the palate, followed by undertones of oak and crisp fruit--apricot, peach, and candied fruit—that continue on a tangy, well-sculpted progression into a near-endless finish.
Ageing potential: Already perfectly enjoyable, it will be at its best in 2-3 years, but will further evolve over the next 15 years.
Serving suggestions: Lovely with antipasti and terrines. At its best with seafood, such as John Dory, bass, salmon, and Alpine char, cold and hot shellfish, and beef carpaccio.
