Description
What kind of wine is it
The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Non Dosé by Pierre Mignon is a rigorous expression of Chardonnay. Crafted according to the Traditional Method, it stands out for its zero dosage profile, offering a taut, dry and elegant sip. Visually, it displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet weaves together floral notes, white peach and citrus, then evolves towards hints of mushrooms and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the lively attack is supported by great freshness, with a rounded and full-bodied finish recalling dried fruit and toasted bread.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in the Champagne region, from grapes sourced exclusively from the Côte des Blancs. The bunches are selected from the Grand Cru villages of Chouilly, Cramant and Avize, where the chalky soils impart a distinct mineral character. This geographical origin enhances the purity of the grape variety and the tension on the palate. The Maison Pierre Mignon, located in Le Breuil in the Vallée de la Marne, interprets these historic vineyards, translating the identity of the terroir into a label of utmost formal purity.
How is it produced
Production faithfully follows the Traditional Method, with a prolonged ageing on the lees lasting between thirty-six and sixty months, enriching its aromatic depth. Disgorgement is carried out in the Non Dosé version, with no added sugars, to preserve the authenticity of the raw material. Served at the ideal temperature between six and eight degrees, it reveals its charm as an aperitif. At the table, it pairs precisely with roasted scallops, shellfish, sole meunière, lean fish and cheeses.

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
