Coming from the Marne Valley they are a relatively newcomer to the other houses in Epernay along the avenue de Champagne. That is why they had to try harder, do things better, and bring together other partners to swing production beyond what is typically done at small producers in the Marne Valley. We really like their ultra modern vats, at the same time trying cutting edge experimental methods making for a promising future.
There are no secrets in making Champagne, it is what you do with the grapes that can make a very good champagne. What they do at Charles Mignon Champagne is simply a mix of hard work and an immense investment that sets them above.

A FAMILY ADVENTURE
Bruno and Laurence have founded a Great House, but also a family with Manon and Guillaume. As young children, they both played hide and seek in the cellars… Today, as grown-ups, they take part to the life of Champagne Charles Mignon. With Laurence, Manon is developing wine-tourism activities ; with Bruno, Guillaume can imagine the future cuvees of the brand. What unites the Mignon family above all is gastronomy: while in the kitchen, some saucepans are moved around and some smells are arising, a wine is chosen to sublimate the menu.

They have a modern efficient classy room for welcoming guests. Even better is a paved parking with some tables with sun umbrellas for tastings outdoors when for hot summer days

What We Like
Best Tasting Points
Massive cellars directly built into the side of the hill where the vineyards begin in Epernay. A great selection of Champagnes to taste.
Could Be Improved
A little off the path, just a bit far from the Avenue de Champagne. Facilities for tasting lack charm.
