Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne L'Hommée Premier Cru Extra Brut

95–96
/100

Basisvinen fra 2018-årgangen vokser i 1er Cru Vrigny og modnes derefter i træ. Alt kommer fra familiens egne vinmarker, der i gennemsnit er 65 år gamle. Degorgeret i midten og slutningen af 2022 med ca. 3 gram dosage, dvs. hurtig og tør som altid hos Coulon. Omkring to tredjedele Chardonnay, resten Pinot Noir. Dybden og intensiteten i Coulons champagner er betagende og minder mig altid om Laherte eller Egly-Ouriet, som også er på rejse i Vrigny. En rig næse med et gulfrugtet præg, reneclaude, kvædepære, hvide og gule blomster, hvide peberkorn, alt sammen tegnet med den skarpeste definition, næsten krystallinsk og alligevel med denne enorme frugtintensitet. Det er en ret unik stil, fordi den er så kraftfuld og samtidig meget tør og stram. Jeg kan ikke forklare, hvordan Coulon får denne spænding mellem kraft og mineralsk definition ind i flasken på en sådan måde, men det fascinerer mig på ny, hver gang jeg har det her i mit glas. En fantastisk champagne fra top til bund og sandsynligvis Coulons bedste værdi. 95/100

Galloni om: Champagne L'Hommée Premier Cru Extra Brut

The NV Extra-Brut L’Hommée, a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir across a number of parcels in Vrigny, deftly marries power with tension. White flowers, chalk, mint, dried herbs and crushed rocks all run through this beautifully delineated, vibrant Champagne. Deep with tons of precision, the Homme is seriously impressive from start to finish. Superb! Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: December, 2021. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne L'Hommée Premier Cru Extra Brut

From their oldest terroir in their first location, the name for the NV Champagne L'Hommee refers to how much a single person can harvest in one day. Made from 60% Chardonnay with the rest Pinot Noir and vinified in oak barrels, 2019 is the base vintage, with 20% reserve wine. A touch more reserved on opening, the wine is more assertive on the palate at this stage, with aromas of citrus oils, savory herbs, walnut, and broth. Wonderfully pure on the palate, it opens to notes of ripe apricot fruit and fresh tangerine, with a refined mouthfeel and a pinpoint mousse. (All of the Roger Coulon Champagnes are bottled with 4.5 bars pressure to produce a more delicate mousse.) This is a lovely, food-friendly style to drink over the coming 10-15 years. 3 grams per liter of dosage. 94+/100

Parker om: Champagne L'Hommée Premier Cru Extra Brut

Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in October 2022, the latest NV Brut L'Hommée is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, golden orchard fruit, white flowers, honeycomb and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit, terrific cut and a bright, saline finish.

Jancis Robinson om: Champagne L'Hommée Premier Cru Extra Brut

Another deep, sonorous nose. Edgy, but not for the sake of edgy. The depth to these Coulon wines is remarkable. Yes, it's toast and layers and fruit and spice and minerals in abundance, but the flavours are almost secondary to the anima of the wine. This is a wine that slams into your whole body; one sip; feel the reverberations. These wines are all about the energy, the resonance, the sheer life force of life. Like copper wires pulsing with electricity. Like a cello solo in the Carnegie Hall. You feel it more than you drink it. 18/20
