Christophe Mignon’s Champagne “Blanc de Noirs ADN de Meunier” Brut Nature NV, based on the 2019/2020 vintages, is a striking expression of pure Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne. Known for his commitment to biodynamic and lunar-influenced farming, Mignon crafts this cuvée to reflect the varietal’s bold character and the vineyard’s unique terroir. The Brut Nature style, with zero dosage, highlights the wine’s natural acidity and minerality, resulting in a Champagne that is both precise and intense.

On the nose, “ADN de Meunier” displays complex aromas of red apple, ripe pear, and a touch of citrus zest, layered with earthy undertones, white pepper, and a hint of toasted almond from extended aging. The palate is lively and textured, featuring flavors of orchard fruit, orange peel, and subtle floral notes. With its fine, persistent mousse, the wine finishes clean and dry, emphasizing a chalky minerality and a touch of salinity that adds depth.

Ideal for pairing with dishes like charcuterie, roasted poultry, or creamy cheeses, this Champagne showcases Pinot Meunier’s depth and versatility. The dual base of 2019 and 2020 vintages brings a balance of youthful freshness and structure, making “ADN de Meunier” an engaging choice for those seeking a Champagne that offers both character and purity.
