NV R.H. Coutier Cuvee Tradition Grand Cru

A screaming value for Grand Cru Champagne! Try it and see!
70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay

From The Importer: 
"Produced entirely from Grand Cru grapes from the village of Ambonnay, this stunning Brut Tradition shows rich, leesy fruit obtained through extended bottle aging prior to disgorging. Quite vinous in texture, it is full and long with crisp apple fruit notes on the finish and showing some toasty notes in the nose. Very low dosage levels allow the great Ambonnay fruit to shine. The current cuvee was disgorged April 2023 and has 6g/L sugar, so it's on the drier side of Brut."

From Antonio Galloni, Vinous - November 2025:
"If I had to make a list of grower estates to watch, Coutier would be very high on that list. The house has long excelled with their traditional NV Champagnes, wines that deliver outstanding quality and value. Under Antoine Coutier's stewardship, the estate has moved towards sustainable farming. Investments in the expanded cellar mean that nearly all operations are now done in house in a facility that also allows the wines to spend more time aging prior to release. The new 2018 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Le Bout du Clos is a fabulous addition to the lineup, while the NV wines that have long informed this range are still superb. Wines are done in a combination of barrel and stainless steel, with full malolactic fermentation. The Bout du Clos is an exception, as it does not undergo malolactic fermentation. Coutier remains under the radar. These are wines to buy now, before the rest of the world figures it out."
