Champagne Girard-Bonnet 'A Mi-Chemin' Grand Cru Extra Brut NV

Champagne Girard-Bonnet is a rising grower-producer estate located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, France. Founded in 2018 by young vigneron Paul Girard (born in 1995), the house unites two deep-rooted local winegrowing families: his father Philippe Girard’s vineyards in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and his mother Dominique Bonnet’s historic holdings in Oger. The estate spans roughly 12 hectares across prestigious sites including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, and the Premier Cru village of Vertus. 

In the vineyards, Paul Girard practices strict organic and biodynamic farming (certified organic in 2023), building on decades of herbicide-free soil management started by his father. The production focuses almost exclusively on expressive, chalk-driven Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs), vinified plot-by-plot using natural yeasts, neutral oak, stainless steel, and amphoras, with no fining or filtration. Signature cuvées like Mon Village and A Mi-Chemin showcase the tension, salinity, and pure limestone mineral structure of the Côte des Blancs.
