A really fascinating Champagne that you need to try - not from the most fashionable Grand cru sites, maybe, but made with extraordinary care and precision and it shows - the focus and sheer energy and zing are distinctive and immensely attractive. See Tam Currin's note too "Strikingly elegant, and different'. The 100% Pinot Meunier gives a wine with a bit of weight and mouthfeel too..

Gosh, that really is salty! Salty, citric, quinine and white-pepper spicy. Quite geometric and very, very firmly framed. Finishes like chalk on a blackboard. Almost orange-like and then beautiful long lime fragrance on the finish. Persian lime. This is strikingly elegant, and different.

Sourced from parcels in Festigny and Le Breuil, The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs ADN de Meunier is airy, gracious and super-expressive. Crushed flowers, pear, dried herbs, mint and lemon peel abound. Lifted and aromatic, with tons of energy, this is terrific. Bright acids and floral accents brighten the finish. This saw vinification in epoxy-lined tanks and was bottled with zero dosage. Disgorged: February 10, 2023. Drinking range: 2023 - 2031 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (May 2023)

Champagne Christophe Mignon

Christophe Mignon is a fifth generation vigneron working in the Marne valley on 6.5 hectares of vines between Le Breuil and Festigny, with his wife Laurence and Loann, one of their two sons. Although a small domaine there are still around 30 different plots helping to give complexity to the wines, which, apart from a small cuvée of Blanc de Blancs, are all pure Pinot Meunier.

Christophe believes in working alongside nature as he perceives it even if this turns out to be the harder way. Although not certified, his commitment to biodynamic, homeopathic and geobiological farming clear to see on any visit.

Having harvested the ripest fruit possible, the grapes are pressed quickly and fermented slowly, with no malolactic, nor filtration, and very limited SO2. The wines that result are very dry (he does some cuvées with no dosage) and rather dramatic, even quite extreme.
