Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

From one of Mesnil's most promising young winegrowers, Girard-Bonnet’s NV Blanc de Blancs A Mi-Chemin is a blend of nine lieux-dits scattered around Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Based on the 2021 vintage and complemented by 30% reserve wines from 2018 to 2020, it was matured on the lees in 350- and 500-liter barrels and steel, in nearly equal parts, and disgorged in February 2024 with two grams per liter dosage. Slightly high-toned, it unfurls from the glass with scents of apple peel, oyster shell and citrus fruit. It’s a wine with a taut profile, but not without flesh on its bones. It’s medium-bodied and pillowy, with a profile that combines a touch of sweetness with a saline, savory character. Informed by the cooler season, it’s lighter in structure than the 2022-based rendition tasted alongside.

Features

Description

The Girard-Bonnet A Mi-Chemin Champagne is an oenological jewel that reflects the essence and philosophy of the Girard-Bonnet house. This cuvée is the result of the union of two prestigious winemaking families, representing 50% Le Mesnil sur Oger from the Girard family and 50% Oger from the Bonnet family. This combination symbolises not only the union of two families, but also their shared vision of a Côte des Blancs champagne.

Winemaking

Made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay from the Grand Crus of Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger, this champagne is a pure expression of its terroir. Produced from the 2018 and 2019 vintages, its vinification takes place 75% in stainless steel tanks and 25% in French oak barrels, giving it a unique structure and complexity. Its dosage is 2 g/l, which classifies it as an Extra Brut champagne, highlighting its elegance, citrus notes and minerality.

Taste

A Mi-Chemin Grand Cru is a champagne that exudes great minerality and a sharp but not aggressive acidity. These characteristics are sublimated by delicate aromas of white flowers, which envelop the palate and offer an unforgettable sensory experience. Its taste is a true representation of the Côte des Blancs, a region known for its high quality champagnes and distinctive character.
