Champagne Roger Coulon, ‘Les Hauts Partas’ Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

In 2013, the Coulon family acquired their first parcel of grand cru: 0.22 hectares of 1976-planted Chardonnay in the Les Hauts Partas vineyard in the esteemed village of Chouilly, located in the northern sector of the Côte des Blancs immediately east of Épernay. The debut-vintage 2014 underwent spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, and spent a full year aging in used barrels before being bottled for secondary fermentation; it was disgorged with a scant two grams per liter of dosage in November 2019, after four years on the lees. Offering a combination of the plush power often associated with Chouilly and the stark clarity of fruit that is a house signature here, “Les Hauts Partas” presents a deep, clear, and gorgeous nose with a touch of gunflint underlying notes of fresh cream. Its palate is ringing and dynamic, with salt-sprinkled small-berried red fruits clinging to the palate for dear life and prompting salivation.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
