A vintage cuvée made from the first presses of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims
Charles Mignon is a small family-owned Champagne House based in Epernay. Since 2003 they have been listed beside the greatest and most prestigious houses of champagne with UMC – the Union of Champagne Houses, pressing home the quality on offer from the excellent range. Owned by Bruno and Laurence Mignon; 5th generation, they run the progressive winery alongside their partners Manon and Guillaume. With family at it's heart, Charles Mignon Champagne is made with passion and dedication, with the wines offered at prices which are accessable to all. The Cuvée Comte de Marne is only ever made in the very best vintage years, and all grapes are souced from the first presses of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims.
This blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay is made from the first presses of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims. Its mellow golden hue is a sign of its ageing. The nose is rich and elegant with a wide aromatic palette encompassing yellow fruit, almond, honey and a light touch of spice. The palate is fine and elegant with a purity style and delicate evolution with almond, white flower and spice. Perfect balance and immense length with a creamy mousse and extremely fine bubbles. This cuvée is the signature of the 2012 vintage.
