Description
Vinification
Biodynamically farmed Chardonnay vines in different parcels, average 31 years old and situated with south/south-east exposure on silty clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvest at optimum ripeness, very slow pneumatic pressing, vinification of separate parcels in enameled steel tanks. Still, wines are aged on the lees for 12 months in oak foudre. Bottling without filtration, second fermentation in the bottle with biodynamic yeasts. 60 months aging sur lattes before degorgement, no dosage.
Disgorged 10/05/2021.
Domaine Christophe Mignon
Christophe Mignon is a 5th generation winemaker who farms 6.5 hectares in Festigny (Vallée de la Marne), of which 90% is planted with Pinot Meunier. Aside from being one of the champions of pure Meunier Champagne, he is a fanatic elaborator of biodynamic principles in both the vineyard and the cellar. He works the soil manually, produces his own natural vineyard treatments with often self-invented machinery (no chemicals whatsoever in his vineyards), and observes the lunar calendar throughout his operations. Not afraid to experiment with insights gleaned from homeopathy, phytotherapy, and geobiology, Mignon is convinced the best wines are produced by a harmony of modern and ancient methods.
