Aged on lees for an extended period, this Brut N.V. develops a refined texture and aromatic depth.

Tasting notes
The Charles Mignon Premium Reserve Brut Premier Cru N.V. in Jeroboam presents a luminous pale gold hue, animated by a delicate and persistent effervescence. The bouquet is complex and inviting, revealing layers of toasted brioche, ripe orchard fruits such as green apple and pear, intertwined with nuances of citrus blossom, almond, and a subtle minerality. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of crisp acidity and a creamy, refined texture. Flavours of lemon curd, white peach, and a hint of ginger lead to a long, elegant finish, underscored by a chalky minerality. The extended ageing in this large format contributes to its remarkable depth and poise.
