Charles Mignon

A family-run Champagne house based in Épernay. It works mainly with Premier Cru and Grand Cru fruit and keeps a deliberately short list of cuvées rather than a wide portfolio.

The cuvées

Premium Réserve Brut Premier Cru is the house wine, listed here in 20cl, 37.5cl and 300cl, with the Premium Réserve Rosé in three-bottle cases. Blanc de Blancs and Premium Réserve Blanc de Noirs sit alongside it. The Grand Cru tier is Cuvée Comte de Marne — non-vintage, non-vintage with gift box, the 2015 in gift box, and a Grand Cru Rosé.

What to expect

A Premier Cru house at a price most grande marque houses left behind years ago. It is not a collector's label and will not carry a table on its name alone. What it does well is the job most Champagne is actually bought for: an opening bottle, a case for an event, a large format that reaches the table and is finished the same night.

Formats and serving

Serve at 8–10°C. The 20cl and 37.5cl bottles suit place settings and gifting; the 300cl is ordered ahead — contact us to confirm availability before the date you need it.
