Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A lively tension driven by pure Chardonnay and the complete absence of dosage, with a lingering saline finish.
Roundness
Ageing in oak casks from the family's own woodland lends a discreet silkiness without weighing down the crystalline frame.
Depth
Restrained yet profound depth, underpinned by the limestone density of a Grand Cru terroir naturally attuned to Pinot Noir.
Length
A long, chalky finish that leaves a characteristic floral and iodine imprint — the hallmark of Chardonnay grown on Verzenay's soils.

TASTING NOTES

The robe is golden with pale green highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, delicate notes of white flowers — jasmine and hawthorn — mingle with candied lemon, white peach and a gentle vanilla-tinged oakiness from the élévage on fine lees. The palate is taut and crystalline, driven by an intense chalky minerality and a saline quality that stretches into a long, fresh and precise finish.

Terroirs

The parcels 'Les Rochelles' and 'Les Potences' in Verzenay, Grand Cru of the Montagne de Reims, sit atop limestone soils traditionally destined for Pinot Noir — making Stéphane Vignon's Blanc de Blancs a bold and brilliant statement. Raised in oak casks sourced from the family's own woodland, on fine lees, with no fining or filtration.

Champagne Vignon

About this house

Champagne Vignon Père & Fils is based in Verzenay, one of Champagne's seventeen Grand Cru villages, on the Montagne de Reims. Stéphane Vignon upholds the exacting craft of the artisan vigneron: strictly parcel-by-parcel vinification, indigenous yeasts, ageing in oak casks from the family forests, and no fining or filtration whatsoever.

Every cuvée from the house is vintage-dated and dosed to an absolute minimum — extra-brut or non-dosé — allowing each terroir to express its character without artifice. This 'less is more' philosophy places Vignon among the benchmark growers of the Grand Cru champenois.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its fine bubbles and dosage-free freshness make it an ideal companion to cheese gougères, whose yielding richness plays beautifully against the wine's mineral tension.

Starter

Starter

The chalky salinity and purity of this undosed Chardonnay are a perfect foil for oysters, creating a sea-and-chalk pairing of remarkable precision.

Main course

Main course

The oak-aged depth and mineral length of the cuvée provide a natural counterpoint to sole meunière, the brown butter resonating with the wine's refined, gently woody notes.
