Mignon is a biodynamic grower making Champagne in an unconventional way—no malolactic fermentation, aged one year in oak foudre, then further years in bottle, zero dosage. The result is a wine with a shimmering hue, delicate and persistent bubbles, and a nose that's clean and subtle with woody notes. On the palate, smooth and precise with toasted almond flavors—genuinely complex. Made from 100% Chardonnay, it's the kind of grower Champagne that reveals itself over time.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Brut Nature ADN de Foudre Chardonnay is a wild wine. Powerful and explosive, the 2020 packs a tremendous punch of fruit and structure. There are some vegetal notes typical of the vintage that lurk beneath, but they are pretty buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Readers should expect a decidedly eccentric wine. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: September 2024; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." —Antonio Galloni

More about Christophe Mignon

In addition to being a top Champagne vigneron, Christophe Mignon is something of a wizard, a mad scientist. Mignon is credited — along with a few other notable Champagne vignerons (including Jérôme Prévost) — with elevating the status of Pinot Meunier, once considered a supporting player to Chardonnay or Pinot Noir's leading role. His estate is located in the Vallée de Marne, where Pinot Meunier is grown in clay and chalk soils, ideal for expressing intense fruit and precise minerality. For the past 20 years, everything at the estate has been done with respect for the lunar calendar, as well as Christophe's unwavering respect for the earth. An inveterate tinkerer, he's designed many of his own vineyard tools, including a homeopathy machine that dispenses minute amounts of copper (as well as tinctures of valerian root and garlic), to curb the need for intrusive chemicals. He farms over 30 small parcels, and vinifies parcels separately, based on their unique terroir. From a group of vines averaging 45 years of age, Chez Mignon, the point of Champagne is enjoyment. While his wines can be quite serious and vinous, the Meunier grape provides something so delightful, so fun, that we've been tempted to pop a bottle on a weekday evening, just because.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
