Vinification of Champagne Pierre Mignon Blanc de Blancs

The Champagne Pierre Mignon Blanc de Blancs comes from the renowned Champagne region in France. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested to select only ripe and optimal berries for the wine. The Chardonnay grape benefits from the region's limestone-rich soils, which reflect in a fine mineral aspect of the wine.

After harvest, the grapes are gently processed. The juice is carefully pressed, using only the first, noble pressings. The vinification is performed varietally to preserve the characteristic aromas and freshness of Chardonnay. The initial alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures to retain delicate fruit aromas.

Special attention is paid to aging ‘sur lie’, meaning on the yeast. The wine matures for at least 36 months on fine lees, imparting an extraordinary creaminess and complexity. During this period, notes of brioche and cloves develop, shaping the characteristic style of the Champagne Pierre Mignon Blanc de Blancs. The second fermentation in the bottle gives the sparkling wine its lively perlage and ensures a delicately bubbly texture. Bottling with a classic sparkling wine cork guarantees optimal aging capacity and perfect maturation until opening.
