Tasting Notes
This Premium Reserve Champagne is Charles Mignon's bubbly for all celebratory occasions, made to be enjoyed with friends in carefree times. Well-balanced and light, it has a distinctive, refreshing aspect, with lively hints of fresh fruits and white flower aromas. Pinot Noir provides the wine's structure, Chardonnay is the source of its minerality, and Pinot Meunier offers lightness and delicacy. A Champagne appreciated by everyone from the most experienced wine taster to someone just getting into wine. Premium Reserve Brut is also a favorite for weddings and large events.
Producer Notes
Maison Charles Mignon is located in Epernay, the capital of the Champagne region and a town with a rich historical past, snuggled up along the Marne River between hillsides and forests. Since 2003, Charles Mignon has been one of the few family Champagne houses to be a member of the prestigious Union des Maisons de Champagne. In 1995, Bruno Mignon, great-grandson of a winemaker, created Charles Mignon. With his wife Laurence, they perpetuate this love for the vine and wine while bringing a modern touch. The house owns a vineyard in Chouilly, a "Grand Cru" listed village. It is complemented by a family vineyard in the prestigious soils of the Vallee de la Marne and grape-supplying contracts from vines well spread out between the Cote des Blancs as a majority, Montagne de Reims, and Vallee de la Marne.

Lemon and lime notes on the nose, this is zesty, crisp and lively, super tart on the palate with bright and lean acidity. Direct and piercing with green apple, yellow stone fruit and citrus elements which give bite and lingering freshness on the tongue. Dry and clean with a chalky finish. A lovely Champagne that is so easy to drink and which builds in intensity from green apple and lemon to bruised sweet peach with a creamy finish. A blend of [...] Pinot Meunier, [...] Chardonnay and [...] Pinot Noir. Excellent for an aperitif.

[...] Meunier in a blend with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has produced a ripe, rounded Champagne. It is full, spicy and crisp with grapefruit and green apple flavors. The aroma of white flowers leads effortlessly into a wine that is ready to drink.

A medium-bodied Champagne with some sliced spiced-pear and lemon character. A little sweet on the palate. Medium finish. Drink now.

Fruity and friendly. Nectarine, apricot and satsuma. Loose, easy mousse and structure. Nice juiciness in the middle. Good balance. (TC)
