Who makes it

Today, Céline and Jean Charles Mignon continue the family work at Maison Pierre Mignon. Jean Charles directs the technical side and wine vision, while Céline represents the house commercially. The grapes are harvested by hand. His stated aim is for wines that are fresh, aromatic and delicate.

Where it grows

The holdings extend across the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs and Épernay region. That spread places several Champagne areas behind one house range, alongside Clos des Graviers, a single plot bottled as its own cuvée. A single vineyard wine names one source parcel, giving the label a narrower origin than a house cuvée assembled from wider holdings.

What they make

The range includes Grande Réserve Premier Cru, Grande Réserve in half bottle, Brut Prestige in magnum and Brut Rosé in bottle and half bottle formats. Brut Rosé is matured for at least 3 years before release. Clos des Graviers is the single vineyard cuvée, made from Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir planted in one plot.

Grande Réserve Premier Cru opens with citrus, brioche and yeast aromas, followed by a fresh, lively palate, creamy mousse and a long finish. It also shows robust, smoky aromatics with a broad, silky, fruit forward and mouth watering palate. The wine can develop, but it is not designed for prolonged ageing.
