Why shop with us?
Coutier Cuvée Tradition Grand Cru is a refined Champagne that brings together Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from a prized Grand Cru setting in Champagne. It is designed in a classic style, offering both freshness and structure, with the added appeal of a producer known for elegant, terroir-driven wines from Ambonnay.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne typically shows a fine, persistent mousse and a bright pale-gold color. On the nose, expect lively notes of citrus, white flowers, green apple, and subtle brioche or almond from time on lees.
The palate is usually crisp and well-balanced, with Chardonnay contributing lift and finesse while Pinot Noir adds depth and a touch of red-fruited richness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with enough structure to suggest it will hold well for a few years, though it is best enjoyed for its freshness and precision.
Production
Produced in Champagne, this cuvée draws on Grand Cru fruit from one of the region’s most highly regarded terroirs, where chalky soils help preserve tension and minerality in the wine. The blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is traditionally harvested by hand, as is standard in Champagne, with careful grape selection to maintain quality. Vinification likely follows a classic method with secondary fermentation in bottle and aging on the lees to build texture and complexity.
Food & Serving
This Champagne is a versatile choice for aperitif service as well as with oysters, shellfish, sushi, roasted chicken, or soft cheeses. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not recommended.
Producer
Coutier is a respected Champagne house associated with the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, a site long admired for producing powerful yet elegant Pinot Noir. The producer is known for crafting traditional Champagnes that express the character of the village while maintaining freshness and balance. Its reputation rests on classic methods and a strong connection to one of Champagne’s most celebrated terroirs.
