See what he had to say here.\nThe Coulon family has been making Champagne in Vrigny, a Premier Cru village in the northern Montagne de Reims, for nine (!) generations. Meunier has long been the signature grape here and was made famous by Egly-Ouriet's iconic Les Vignes de Vrigny, proving just how compelling the variety can be in the right hands.\nCoulon's bottling is drawn largely from a perpetual reserve (similar to a solera) that was started in 1995, blending many vintages together to build additional depth and complexity. The result is Champagne that somehow manages to be both laser-focused and beautifully complex or rich — it’s a push and pull on the palate, like a rollercoaster of fruit and umami.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e We love it with…\u003c\/strong\u003e popcorn with parmesan \u0026amp; black pepper, kaffir lime leaf tarts, halibut\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sparkling\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e NV\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.0%\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Meunier\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vrigny, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meunier from Premier Cru Villages on the Montagne de Reims located between 120 and 150 m on moderated slopes facing east.
