Christophe Mignon Champagne ‘Coup de Foudre’ Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

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.
