CHAMPAGNE VIGNON<br />
PÈRE & FILS<br />
92/100<br />
■ Extra brut grand cru Réserve des Marquises 2015<br />
D Pale yellow. Complex, evolving nose marrying notes<br />
of ripe fruits and toast. The palate is very clean and<br />
forthright and offers up wonderful aromatic intensity and<br />
delicious salinity on the finish. A Champagne for gourmet<br />
foods. Price: € N.C.<br />
PRESENTATION: The family has lived in Verzenay, in the<br />
heart of the Montagne de Reims for centuries, but only<br />
began making Champagne again in 1946. Today,<br />
Stéphane Vignon, (third generation winemaker), is ensuring<br />
the future of Champagne Vignon with a passion, rigour<br />
and respect for the vineyards . "Let the Wine and Nature<br />
decide" are the key words here of a signature style and<br />
identity. The Champagnes are single-vineyard and all<br />
grown on Grand Cru sites and produced with the<br />
minimum intervention possible. A majority of the wines<br />
spend time in barrels, some made with timber from<br />
family owned forests, using natural yeasts with no fining<br />
or filtering. These are authentic Champagnes of an<br />
exceptionally high standard – the six labels tasted in<br />
2020 were rated from 90 to 92/100.<br />
