Christophe Mignon
Christophe Mignon comes from a long line of farmers in the hamlet of Le-Mesnil-le-Huttier, 13 miles west of Epernay. His 6.3 hectares of vines were planted by his great-grandparents and are spread among thirty parcels.
This area south of the Marne River is known for its high percentage of Pinot Meunier grapes, which is particularly well suited to the deep clay and chalky soils dominating the terrain. Mignon’s unique approach to viticulture combines natural practices including biodynamics, phytotherapy, homeopathy and geobiology. He likens nature to a rubik’s cube, always changing and offering up new challenges. Christophe has the mind of an engineer and the heart and soul of a fifth generation farmer.
Christophe and his wife Laurence have followed the lunar calendar for 20 years, allowing the moon’s cycles to dictate their work in the vineyards and in the cellar. They strives to follow the rhythm of nature and explains, “the moon for a vigneron is like a metronome for a musician.”
In seeking harmony between the root system and everything that happens above ground, Mignon employs one person per hectare in his vineyards. This ambitious and costly ratio helps to obtain very low yields and directly contributes to the high quality of mature fruit at harvest.Mignon prefers his wines on the drier side and picking at optimum ripeness allows for little to no dosage (added sugar). Additionally, very minimal amounts of sulfur are used. Seán and Françoise Gilley - Terroirs Store
Christophe Mignon Champagne
It takes a visionary to create something that is truly unique such as Christophe Mignon champagne. The dedication to balance between what is below and above the soil is something that must be commended not to mention the costs required to deliver champagne that is perfect for any occasion and set to delight the palates of those fortunate enough to taste it.
This is just one of the very many exclusive champagnes curated for Australian connoisseurs that want something more from their glass of bubbly here at Emperor Champagne. We want to make it possible for those with a desire to expand their knowledge and appreciation of champagne to access the most unique house products as well as opening up the possibilities for them to experience wines that come from lesser-known boutique producers.
Champagne is a luxury item, something that requires time, considerable craft and extensive knowledge to get just right. While there are countless cheap brands out there to satisfy those that simply wish to mark an occasion with a token gesture, those that appreciate the complexity of a fine champagne understand that there is so much more to be experienced.
As such, here at Emperor Champagne, we have started Australia’s first and only champagne subscription club, the Emperor Champagne Club, where you can access rare and interesting bottles, delivered directly to your door every month. What’s more, with exclusive educational content and video reviews accompanying the products we send you, you are afforded the extent of our deep dig and knowledge with regards to the story attached to each house.

However, while it is essential to acquire the best of champagnes when you really want to mark an occasion or simply evoke the best spirit from an evening unless you have the right glasses you really are doing a disservice to the bottle. Here at Emperor Champagne, we are determined to change how people drink their champagne and really want to see tulip-shaped glasses and nothing else being used.
While flutes are commonly used, they can, in fact, ruin the characteristics of a great champagne, whereas the tulip design promotes greater aromas and makes bubbles pop simultaneously as they pass the rim. This makes for a much more enjoyable experience, and we are certain it will promote a greater appreciation for the artistry that goes into each unique bottle.
