Charles Mignon Cuvée Comte de Marne Grand Cru N.V. (1x75cl)

Its Great Growth feature speaks for itself: this is the Champagne of exception. Only remarkable years can produce a Comte de Marne cuvee. Listed terroirs combine with gastronomy. Rich and complex, its aromatic power requires refined dishes (Saint Jacques, Poularde chicken from Bresse, pan-fried Foie gras deglazed in champagne).  

Winemaking

Blended: 70 % Chardonnay, 30 % Pinot Noir from the first presses of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims « Louvois » and the Côte des Blancs « Avize, Cramant, Chouilly ». A blend of one single year’s harvest. Vinification: Manual picking and selection of the best grapes from Grand Cru classified terroirs, which achieves the desired balance. Pressing of whole bunches near the vineyard plots to extract the best juices, the “cuvée” juices; guaranteeing optimum quality. Minimalist vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats in small containers in order to respect the typicity of each terroir. These terroirs are then assembled with care in order to obtain generous wines full of liveliness. The role of the dosage at 7g / L is to create an exceptional balance combining complexity and structure. Ageing: Aged in the obscurity of our cellars at a constant temperature of 12° for 36 to 48 months  

Tasting Note

Aspect: Its mellow gold hue is a sign of its ageing. Its mousse is delicate and its bubbles extremely fine. Nose: A rich, intense nose with a wide aromatic palette encompassing yellow fruit, pear and Mirabel plum, almond, hazelnut and white blossom, such as acacia, with a honeyed, toasted touch. Palate: The attack is forthright and elegant. It has a purity style that marries the structure and the texture of Pinot Noir with the balance and the freshness of Chardonnay. Perfect balance and immense length.
