Description Girard-Bonnet Recueil Extrait 2 Grand Cru Extra-Brut

Estate

Domain Girard-Bonnet is a renowned family estate located in the heart of Côte des Blancs. It focuses on traditional methods to craft its champagnes, emphasizing grape quality and environmental respect. The property benefits from a limestone-clay terroir ideal for Chardonnay. Mastery in vinification results in elegant, complex wines. The house is recognized for its balanced approach and finesse, often praised by critics like the Revue du Vin de France.

Vineyard

The Côte des Blancs vineyard is known for its purity of Chardonnay, situated on chalky soils that give wines their distinctive minerality. Varying altitudes provide a microclimate conducive to slow, balanced ripening. Viticulture here is environmentally friendly, promoting soil biodiversity. Harvesting is manual to ensure grape quality. The region consistently produces high-quality white wines, often rated highly by critics including Robert Parker.

Wine

This 2020 Blanc de Blancs champagne displays a bright pale gold color. The nose reveals white flowers, white flesh fruit, and mineral notes, reflecting Chardonnay’s purity. On the palate, it is elegant with refreshing liveliness and aromatic complexity. The fine bubbles enhance freshness and balance. Its long finish leaves a persistent impression of refinement and harmony.

Vintage

The 2020 vintage was characterized by optimal ripeness and notable freshness. An warm, dry summer allowed for homogeneous maturity. Grapes were hand-harvested to preserve quality. The wine shows a beautiful maturity while remaining airy and fresh. The precision of this vintage is reflected in the champagne's finesse and purity.

Vinification & Aging

The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromas. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to maintain acidity. Aging lasts at least 36 months on the fine lees, adding complexity and a silky texture. The dosage is discreet, highlighting the purity of the terroir and grape. This extended aging enhances the champagne’s finesse and minerality. The traditional method is followed meticulously at every stage to ensure elegance and harmony.
