The L'Hommée cuvée from the Roger Coulon champagne house is a cuvée that is all about balance and precision.
L'Hommée is an old unit of measurement used to measure area. It represented the area of vineyard that a man could work in a day, or approximately 3.33 acres (333 square meters). L'Hommée is made exclusively from grapes grown in vineyards that were once known by this agrarian measurement.
This cuvée is a blend of 33% Pinot Meunier, 33% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay from the Vrigny and Pargny terroirs, classified as Premier Cru. The Chardonnay was aged in oak barrels on lees for seven months.
Malolactic fermentation was carried out on this cuvée, which was then dosed at 6g/L. The L'Hommée cuvée was aged in cellars for five years before being released for tasting.
