Christophe Mignon, ADN de Foudre Meunier Brut Nature, NV [2018]

$110.00

Christophe Mignon is one of the most respected Meunier specialists in Champagne, farming organically and biodynamically in the Vallée de la Marne. ADN de Foudre is sourced from old-vine parcels and vinified entirely in large oak foudres, a choice that adds depth and subtle texture while keeping the purity of Meunier front and center. With zero dosage, the 2018-based cuvée delivers a clear view of the vintage and the estate’s meticulous approach.

The nose shows ripe pear, orchard fruit, and citrus peel, supported by hints of toasted almond and gentle spice from the foudre aging. The palate is dry and focused, with fine bubbles, bright acidity, and a long mineral finish that highlights the natural precision of Meunier grown on clay-limestone soils. It’s expressive without weight and offers a distinctive, thoughtful take on grower Champagne.

Varietal: Pinot Meunier
Appellation: Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France
Farming: Organic, biodynamic, hand-harvested
Style: Sparkling. Dry, expressive, and mineral-driven
