Description
What kind of wine it is
The Pierre Mignon Coteaux Champenoise Rouge Le Breuil is a still red wine from the Coteaux Champenois area, made entirely from Meunier grapes. On the nose, it reveals clear aromas of fresh red fruits and black cherry, accompanied by a subtle hint of liquorice. On the palate, it is fresh and silky from the very first sip, offering a complex texture with notes of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry compote, finishing with a finale characterised by finely peppery spices.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Le Breuil, a specific geographical expression of Champagne. The Coteaux Champenois region is renowned for this rare production of still red wines, capable of bringing the authentic character of the terroir to the glass. The fruity aromatic profile and smooth drinkability reflect the unique features of the plots cultivated by Pierre Mignon, where the use of the Meunier variety ensures a pronounced local freshness.
How it is produced
After harvesting, the Meunier grapes are vinified as a red wine and subsequently aged using the Solera method. Maturation takes place in oak barrels, which are kept partially unfilled to encourage slow evolution and create a blend of different vintages in a single structure. To best appreciate the integrity of the sip and its spicy nuances, it is recommended to decant for about an hour before serving, making it the ideal pairing for dishes such as duck à l'orange.

The story begins in 1892, when Octave Mignon installed the first presses, laying the foundations of what was to become a renowned Maison de Champagne. Over the decades, each generation has contributed to shaping its identity, combining ancestral know-how with a constant quest for quality.
It was Pierre Mignon, however, who marked a decisive turning point in the company's development. Thanks to his vision and commitment, he firmly established Maison Pierre Mignon as one of the most prestigious names on the Champagne scene.
Today, the story continues with Céline and Jean-Charles Mignon, worthy heirs to this family passion, who carry on the work of their forebears, upholding the values and excellence of the House. Read more
