Tasting Notes

This wine comes from a single parcel within his home vineyard that is tasted blind by Jerome and two friends (one of which is Cédric Bouchard) to determine if it can be made as a single vintage, and is a full step up from the base wine in every way. It’s intensely concentrated, nervy and vinous, and with a crystalline stone fruit. The palate is full-bodied and stunningly energetic. There's a cascade of mineral, flint and smoke above a bed of ripe red berry fruit. This simply put is – spellbinding full bodied champagne at a mind boggling price.

The Producer

Coessens Largillier

Jérôme Coessens family have owned vineyards in the village of Ville-sur-Arce for five generations but it was only in 2006 that he decided to start to produce Champagne under the Coessens label. Up to this point the family had grown grapes and sold them to the large Champagne Houses other than a very limited amount that was bottled by his father from 1972 to 1999.

The vineyards total 6.5 hectares but Jérôme chooses to use only one called Largillier for his Champagnes. These 3.36 hectares are solely planted with Pinot Noir vines approximately 35 years old. He soon realised that this sloping south-east facing vineyard produced grapes of different character depending on the part of the vineyard that they had been grown. Each of these 4 sub-plots is vinified separately, Jérôme will then decide whether to blend or not prior to a further period of ageing, almost always in stainless steel tanks.

The viticulture is environmentally driven. He tils the soil between the rows of vines in order to encourage deeper rooting and grows grass between the rows to control the growth of the vines. Jerome believes that the secret of creating great champagne starts in the vineyard with the vine itself. All the quality and the inimitable character of the terroir are to be found in the grapes.

In 2008 Jérôme constructed a new cellar and pressing facility which included a large investment in a state of the art Coquard PAI 8,000kg capacity press which allows him to contract press for other growers in the area.
