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
