"The NV Brut Nature is always a 100% Meunier from two vintages, in this case 2012 and 2011 (50% each). Disgorged in . . . 2015, the cuvĂŠe offers a pure, ripe, pretty rich and fruity bouquet with lovely herbal and savory flavors. Very elegant, fresh and fruity on the palate, this is a finesse-full, dry and mineral Champagne of great precision. It is provided with a very good and salty finish, and indicates an excellent ageing potential. Of the Christophe Mignon, there are also Brut and Extra Brut versions available, but I did not taste those."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
A key Champagne grape lending fruitiness, roundness and approachability to blends alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
