Champagne Roger Coulon has produced Champagnes in Vrigny, in the Montagne de Reims since 1806. Eric and Isabelle Coulon and their children Edgar and Louise are the owners of this 10.8ha estate, which counts over 100 well-selected parcels of older vines spread across the Petite Montagne premier cru villages of Vrigny, Coulommes-la-Montagne, Pargny-les-Reims and Villers-Allerand. Having lost his father early, Eric Coulon learned the job with his grandfather, who had always stayed true to ancestral methods of champagne growing. Coulon is one of only six growers in the elite Trait d’Union, a collective of producers committed to expressing terroir and working as naturally as possible.Their agroforestry project, just three years old, is already an incredible pursuit, a whole way of being, much more than producing grapes in the most right-on way possible. The family are slowly reducing the work they do on the soil, to avoid killing this fauna and flora: treatment doses are gradually being limited and during the winter period they graze the land with sheep whose impact is so much lighter on the land.
