Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Adn de Foudre Pinot Noir Brut Nature by Christophe Mignon is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. This label enhances the region through the use of the Traditional Method, offering a dry and clean profile. As a Brut Nature, it presents a delicate nose with elegant nuances derived from maturation in barrels. On the palate, it stands out for its powerful dynamism, enriched by hints of toasted almonds and a persistent perlage. Christophe Mignon's approach follows biodynamic principles to highlight the natural complexity of the fruit.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the renowned Champagne region. The grapes come from the vineyards of Le Breuil, where the optimal south and south-west exposure ensures the Pinot Noir ripens gradually and consistently. The approximately thirty-year-old vines are set in an ideal agronomic context, capable of imparting tension and integrity to the bunches. The producer's approach results in a Champagne with a rigorous and essential character, able to provide an authentic interpretation of the soil's characteristics without any filter.
How it is produced
The process begins with a meticulous manual harvest, aimed at selecting Pinot Noir at the perfect stage of ripeness. The transformation follows the Traditional Method, with the prise de mousse taking place through secondary fermentation in the bottle without the use of dosage syrup. A long five-year maturation supports the wine's structural evolution, ensuring a harmonious integration of aromatic components. This extended ageing refines the bubbles, delivering a well-defined flavour profile that enhances the elegant toasted notes acquired during the time spent in barrels.
