Christophe Mignon comes from a long line of farmers in the hamlet of Le-Mesnil-le-Huttier, prime Meunier territory in the Vallée de la Marne.
Mignon’s unique approach to viticulture, fondly referred to as the Mignon Method, combines natural practices including biodynamics, phytotherapy, homeopathy, and geobiology. The moon guides all his actions in the vineyard and cellar.
Philosopher and subdued bon vivant, Mignon believes Champagne is meant for true enjoyment, and his exceptional lineup of vinous and textured Meunier wines offers much to savor. Thanks to him and a few committed colleagues, Meunier is overcoming its reputation as Champagne’s “underdog” grape variety.
Blend of biodynamics, according to the moon cycles, phytotherapy, homeopathy, and geobiology. Soil worked manually (4 passes/yr). One person cares for one hectare-extremely high ratio by Champagne standards. All fruit is hand-harvested.
This zero-dosage 100% Pinot Meunier cuvée is a stunner. Clean and expressive nose. Fruity, straight on the palate with balanced acidity and iodine notes, salinity, minerality and a super dry finish.
