Description
What kind of wine is it
This Champagne Brut is born from a harmonious blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Crafted strictly according to the Traditional Method, it offers a dry and structured profile, enhanced by a fine perlage. On the nose, it reveals notes of white fruit, citrus and hints of anise, supported by a distinct chalky minerality and delicate touches of brioche. The palate is velvety, with well-integrated acidity and a persistent finish.
Where does it come from
The grapes are grown in Le Breuil, a renowned subzone of the Vallée de la Marne. The identity of this area is expressed through a noble earthiness that ensures clarity and aromatic precision in the grapes. The work of the Pierre Mignon winery enhances these pedoclimatic characteristics, delivering an authentic interpretation of Champagne. The glass reflects a measured and structured character, where natural freshness blends seamlessly with the deep chalky matrix of the terroir.
How is it produced
The wine comes to life through the rigorous Traditional Method. The essential secondary fermentation in the bottle is followed by a slow ageing on the lees lasting between 36 and 48 months. This prolonged period encourages the development of complex bakery aromas and enriches the palate with a silky creaminess. At disgorgement, the winery opts for a Brut dosage, ensuring a distinctly dry, balanced sip with a clear gustatory progression.
History and Curiosities
The Cuvée Prestige Gold by Pierre Mignon embodies the excellence of the Vallée de la Marne, born from the vineyards of a historic family maison founded in 1892. Combining ancestral knowledge with meticulous attention to quality, this wine rests for 36 to 48 months on the lees to develop a harmonious aromatic profile and a velvety perlage. Awarded by international critics and presented in a magnificent metallic bottle, this Champagne AOC Brut is a true oenological gem, designed to enhance the most important toasts and memorable occasions.

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
