About the Producer

The inception of Girard-Bonnet champagne is synonymous with the identity of its creator - Paul Girard, son of Philippe Girard and Dominique Bonnet. This new grower-maker brand unites grapes of the Girard estate from Mesnil sur Oger and the Bonnet estate from Oger. The name Mi-chemin ('Middle Path') appropriately expresses the half-Oger-half-Les Mesnil in Paul's first bottling.

The minimal approach to vinification reflects the grand cru pedigree of his grapes, as well as his endeavour to represent the different facets of chardonnay according to the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.

"Packed with yummy, juicy citrus. Melon and even a touch of passion fruit. Very ripe, but in all the good ways. Fills the mouth like a star, points and lines in every direction, sparkling edges but lively and fun with a dusting of crushed white stone." Janics Robinson 2022
