Stunning Limited Production Blanc de Noirs

YOU HAVE DENIED YOURSELF SO MUCH, DON’T DENY YOURSELF GREAT CHAMPAGNE

“2012 is an absolutely incredible vintage in champagne and this one proves that above and beyond! The 2012 Roger Coulon Blanc de Noirs Brut Millesime is definitely one of my favorite champagnes for the money period... Since 1806 the Coulon family has been producing some of the greatest grower champagnes in the world. Now Eric and Isabelle Coulon, the eighth generation, are producing the old vine treasures. This Blanc de Noirs is a real beauty, and one of the rarest wines produced by Coulon. Only about 250 cases were produced and less the 30 are imported into the US, so we are thrilled that we were able to get our hands on enough of it to promote! Best of all we have it for a fantastic price, just $72.99. This is one of their best ever vintage champagnes, don’t miss out!” – Jim Knight, The Wine House

FROM THE WINERY

In The Glass:
Rich and full-bodied on the palate, the luscious and expansive character of this wine's red fruit completely absorbs the three grams-per-liter dosage. With notes of pain aux raisins, roasted coffee, and iodine, Coulon’s Blanc de Noirs is boldly vinous and straightforwardly delicious at the same time
