Description
What kind of wine is it
Pierre Mignon Harmonie de Blancs is a Champagne Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs that enhances Chardonnay. Produced using the Traditional Method, it displays a very pale yellow colour and a fine perlage. The aromatic profile is clear, with distinct notes of white fruits and dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a fresh structure and balanced acidity that ensures a long-lasting finish, making it the ideal pairing for shellfish and grilled fish.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from Le Breuil, in the heart of the Marne Valley. Here lies the Pierre Mignon estate, managed by Céline and Jean-Charles Mignon, whose family-run business has operated with dedication since 1892. Its connection to a historic region is guaranteed by the Grand Cru designation, which certifies the excellence of the grapes. The identity of this area is expressed through the pure vinification in which Chardonnay excels, a grape variety that develops a pronounced aromatic precision in this specific terroir.
How is it produced
The production follows the steps that define the Traditional Method. After harvesting the Chardonnay, the base wine undergoes a second fermentation to develop the characteristic effervescence. The process includes a lengthy ageing period of five years, during which the wine rests for eighteen months in oak barrels and completes its maturation on the lees. This prolonged contact imparts great aromatic complexity, while maintaining freshness, masterfully balanced by a Brut dosage.
History and Curiosities
Since 1892, the Pierre Mignon house has combined tradition and excellence in Le Breuil. The Harmonie de Blancs Grand Cru 2013 is a Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) considered a true rarity. Its charm stems from a slow maturation: it ages for five years in the cellar, spending eighteen months in oak barrels to enrich itself with elegant notes of pastry and dried fruit. Now led by Céline and Jean-Charles, the estate signs this sublime Grande Réserve which delights the palate with an extremely fine perlage, balanced acidity and a vibrant freshness.

The story begins in 1892, when Octave Mignon installed the first presses, laying the foundations of what was to become a renowned Maison de Champagne. Over the decades, each generation has contributed to shaping its identity, combining ancestral know-how with a constant quest for quality.
It was Pierre Mignon, however, who marked a decisive turning point in the company's development. Thanks to his vision and commitment, he firmly established Maison Pierre Mignon as one of the most prestigious names on the Champagne scene.
Today, the story continues with Céline and Jean-Charles Mignon, worthy heirs to this family passion, who carry on the work of their forebears, upholding the values and excellence of the House. Read more
