Girard Bonnet

Mon Village | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Mon Village cuvée from Girard-Bonnet champagne is a tribute to the exceptional terroir of Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Paul Girard grew up. With its subtle aromas and crisp mouthfeel, this 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru champagne is the perfect cuvée for an aperitif or to accompany a seafood platter.

The Making of Mon Village Girard-Bonnet Champagne

The Mon Village cuvée is composed of 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay, sourced from the old vines of Mesnil-sur-Oger. This blend comprises 70% of the 2021 harvest and 30% perpetual reserve wines. These reserves, aged in barrels, bring depth and complexity to this cuvée.

The vinification relies on the use of indigenous yeasts and takes place entirely in oak barrels. The juices are aged on lees for several months, providing richness and texture to this champagne. Dosed as extra-brut with only 3 g/L of sugar, this cuvée preserves all the purity and elegance of the Chardonnay.

The Terroir and Philosophy of the Domain

The Mesnil-sur-Oger, located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, is renowned for its argilo-calcareous soils on Campanian chalk. These characteristics give the wines a unique minerality and great aromatic purity. The Mon Village cuvée captures the essence of these soils, revealing a pure expression of the terroir.

The Girard-Bonnet domain is committed to organic and biodynamic practices, certified Bio and Demeter since 2023. With practices such as eco-grazing, the use of herbal teas, and the elimination of herbicides, the vineyard fully enhances each parcel to reach its full potential.
