Pierre Mignon 2013 Grand Vintage Brut

Champagne Pierre Mignon is a family-run house based in Le Breuil in the Vallée de la Marne, with approximately 20 hectares of vineyards spread across the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs and Épernay area. The family has produced Champagne for five generations and holds HVE Level 3 certification for its sustainable vineyard practices. The 2013 Grand Vintage is composed of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier and 10% Pinot Noir and spent an impressive 10 years ageing on its lees before release. The extended maturation gives the wine considerable richness and autolytic complexity while retaining the freshness of the late, cool 2013 vintage. Dosage is approximately 7 g/L.
