Champagne Extra Brut
Blanc de Noirs MIllésime 2014

The Champagne Blanc de Noirs Millésime by Roger Coulon comes from old vines in Vrigny and Gueux, Premier Cru villages of the Petite Montagne de Reims, as an identity-driven interpretation of the Domaine’s black grape varieties. This cuvée particularly highlights the lieux-dits “Les Limons” and “Les Linguets”, where historic franc de pied vines planted in 1959 can still be found, rare ungrafted vines that preserve an authentic testimony of Champagne’s original winegrowing heritage. The project therefore offers an intense and terroir-focused reading of the vintage, built on depth, energy, and expressive precision.

This edition, Vintage 2014, is made from an equal blend of Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes interpreted through vinification and maturation in wood with completed malolactic fermentation, a choice that enhances complexity, depth, and aromatic layering, while the extended lees ageing of around 8 years following tirage guides the wine toward greater harmony and expressive precision. The final dosage of 2 g/l, in Extra Brut style, preserves tension, mineral clarity, and vibrant energy on the palate.

In tasting, Blanc de Noirs Millésime 2014 reveals aromas of ripe yellow fruit, candied citrus, sweet spices, and delicate toasted nuances. On the palate it shows a broad and dynamic structure supported by freshness and salinity, with a fine mousse and a long, intense, persistent finish. Total production amounts to 7,000 bottles.
