AD COUTELAS
Located in the village of Villers-Sous-Chatillon (the same as Collard-Picard), Coutelas makes wine from all estate-owned fruit, and is one of the few producers to use a solera style of blending in their Champagne making. Because the Champagnes are therefore the result of fractional blends from older selections, year after year, it’s almost impossible to know the exact composition of the wines. Angelique and Damien Coutelas are believers in the use of wood for fermentation and use a number of different barrel types of a variety of sizes. The wines are rich, vinous, and savory in style.
