History
Bruno and Laurence Mignon founded the modern Charles Mignon business. Their family account locates the earlier winegrowing roots in Le Mesnil-le-Huttier, a hamlet of Festigny in the Marne Valley. It also identifies estate vines in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the Côte des Blancs.
Their children Manon and Guillaume now work beside them. Manon and Laurence develop wine tourism, while Guillaume works with Bruno on the wines. The producer joined the Union des Maisons de Champagne in 2003, a dated institutional milestone in the modern house’s history.
During the 1990s a collaboration with Claude Fiévet led to Comte de Marne, the Grand Cru range. Its present catalogue contains Brut, Rosé and a vintage 2015. The Premier Cru wines form a different range, drawing on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Coteaux d’Épernay and Montagne de Reims; their Rosé uses red wine from Bouzy.
The premises at 6–7 rue Irène Joliot Curie combine a winery, vaulted cellars and visitor reception. The house describes small-capacity, temperature-controlled steel tanks for its Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. Its œnothèque retains older Grand Cru vintages, keeping a bottle record alongside the family’s current production.
Bruno, Laurence, Manon and Guillaume
Charles Mignon also owns vines in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the Côte des Blancs. Its published winemaking description highlights small-capacity temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and the three principal Champagne grapes: Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. The house has belonged to the Union des Maisons de Champagne since 2003.
What the visitor route includes
The house’s own wine-tourism page describes a guided visit through its traditional vaulted cellars, ending with a cuvée selected according to the ticket bought. The regional tourist office adds a production film in a screening room after the winery and cellar introduction, and gives an average visit duration of 45 minutes.
English and French guided visits are listed by the Épernay tourist office. Its published English departures are 10:00, 14:45 and 16:00 on weekdays, with additional Saturday options; French departures are listed separately. The current operating window on that listing is 14 April–23 December 2026, Tuesday–Saturday 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–17:30, closed Sunday and Monday. The dated house calendar remains the booking route for a particular session.
Tariffs and the actual tasting ticket
The tourist office’s French listing names four formats: Visite traditionnelle with one flute, Visite gourmande with one flute plus dark chocolate and a biscuit rose at €17, Visite découverte with two flutes at €20, and Visite premium with three at €25. Its overall individual range begins at €16 (checked October 2026). Group tariffs are separately listed and must not be substituted for an individual booking.
That same official listing prices tasting-only at €6, described as either two 4 cl tasting samples or one 8 cl flute, and accompanied child visits at €8. Those entries do not specify the same wines as every guided-ticket option. The house’s current booking calendar provides the experience sold for the selected date; a fixed list of cuvées is not added to a ticket when the producer has not named them.
Premier Cru: two regional sources
The Brut Premier Cru combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Coteaux d’Épernay and Montagne de Reims. The Rosé Premier Cru adds red wine from Bouzy to those two grapes. Bouzy is therefore a specific origin named in the rosé’s production account, not a village included in the Épernay cellar walk.
The Premier Cru range page separates the Brut and Rosé and links their technical sheets. The geographical descriptions explain part of the difference from the house’s Chouilly Grand Cru holdings and the broader Premium Réserve range.
Comte de Marne and older vintages
Charles Mignon created the Comte de Marne range in the 1990s in collaboration with Claude Fievet, Comte de Marne. The Grand Cru catalogue includes Brut, Rosé and a Vintage Grand Cru 2015. Its rosé is described as structured around Pinot Noir vinified in a Burgundian style.
The house recommends the Comte de Marne Brut with scallops, poularde de Bresse or pan-fried foie gras finished with Champagne. Its Œnothèque is a separate selection of older Grand Cru vintages produced in limited quantities in selected years. A routine cellar ticket does not state that these older bottles are included; the house supplies their availability and any private-tasting quotation.
Parking, facilities and the Épernay address
The official house website uses 6–7 rue Irène Joliot-Curie; the tourist office shortens the address to number 7. The Épernay guide covers the central Avenue walk, while the regional map groups this house with the town’s other appointments. Accommodation near the station and centre is listed in the stays guide with Booking.com links.
Access and facilities
Épernay’s tourist listing records parking, a baby-changing area, an air-conditioned room, a meeting room and a terrace. It also flags reduced-mobility services, without describing a complete step-free cellar route. For the actual stairs, seating or assistance arrangements, contact the visitor team at +33 3 26 58 33 33 or cm@champagne-mignon.fr.
Charles Mignon’s winery and traditional vaulted cellars are at 6–7 rue Irène Joliot-Curie in Épernay, away from the Avenue de Champagne. The family’s visitor route introduces the vat room and cellars before a tasting; the tourist office lists individual visit-and-tasting tariffs from €16 to €25 (checked October 2026).
