{"title":"Coulommes-la-Montagne","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoulommes-la-Montagne\u003c\/strong\u003e lies about ten kilometers southwest of Reims, in the western part of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montagne-de-reims\"\u003eMontagne de Reims\u003c\/a\u003e, next to \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vrigny\"\u003eVrigny\u003c\/a\u003e and Pargny-lès-Reims. The LUMC places it in the «Reims: Vesle \u0026amp; Ardre» terroir. The name, Colomna around 850, may come from a Roman column or milestone; the form Coulommes-la-Montagne has been official since the 1898 decrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the UMC, the vineyard covers 77.0 ha for 31 winegrowers: Meunier 65%, Chardonnay 21%, Pinot Noir 14%. The plots lie between 124 and 207 meters, on steep slopes (average gradient 12.6%) facing southeast and east for 70%; here, the soils tend toward marl, clay, and sand. According to the Comité Champagne, Meunier adapts to more clay-rich soils, buds late, and produces soft, fruity wines with notes of yellow fruit. The winegrowers share a cooperative with Vrigny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe village is mentioned in a 974 donation to the chapter of Reims, later transferred to the Abbey of Saint-Remi; a 1565 purchase of a house, vineyards, and garden already attests to viticulture. The 12th-century Saint-Rémi church is a historic monument, and a borne Vauthier marks the point reached by the front in 1914-1918. The classification is recent: in the latest revision of the échelle des crus, in 2003, Coulommes rose from 89% to 90% alongside Sermiers and Vrigny, reaching the threshold that the 1952 decree set for the Premier Cru designation, now confirmed by the AOC regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a Champagne from Coulommes-la-Montagne joins the STELT selection, it appears below.
