Champagne A.D. Coutelas

Vallée de la MarneDizyNMNMNégociant ManipulantA house that makes and sells champagne from grapes it buys in, wholly or partly. Most of the famous names sit here, and the category says nothing about quality or whether the house also owns vineyards.Founded 1809

A.D. Coutelas traces its vines back to 1809, when Louis Victor Coutelas began growing at Villers-sous-Châtillon in the Marne valley.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Everything here is allowed to settle slowly. The wines rest longer than the market asks for, and the family tastes the whole range before anything leaves the cellar.

What follows is written from visits, from bottles opened too early and a few opened at exactly the right moment.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Eight generations in the Marne valley, and a solera barrel running since 2007 that nobody can quite put a blend to.
