The NV (2022) Brut Rosé Grand Cru is a very pretty, nuanced Champagne. Cranberry, dried flowers, mint and crushed autumn leaves all grace this racy, pale-colored Rosé. It's a touch light and ethereal, with all the elements very nicely balanced. The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year. - By Antonio Galloni on 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.
