Christophe Mignon Champagne Millésime 2015 Brut Nature

€64.90

Beautiful single vintage Champagne from a very ripe year. Delicate and lightly oxidative nose of white flowers, brioche, dried red fruits, spice and iodine. On the palate it is creamy, concentrated but bone-dry, with an almost grainy minerality. Late-picked grapes and long aging sur lattes give volume and richness, all balanced by beautiful linear acidity.

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 calender troughout his operations. Not affraid 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.
