Champagne Charles Mignon is a family business in Épernay, founded in 1995 by Bruno and Laurence Mignon, who build on a generations-long tradition of winegrowers. The house produces approximately 1.2 million bottles a year, of which 60% is exported to 55 countries. The champagnes are known for their style of "structure, finesse and purity" and have won more than 150 awards.
History and Heritage
The Mignon family originally comes from the Marne valley (including Mesnil-le-Huttier) and settled in the capital of Champagne. Knowledge was passed down through the generations: from mother to daughter, wife to husband and father to son. Manon Mignon has now taken over the management of the estate and leads the wine-tourism activities.
