The wine's story:<\/span><\/h3>

A Mi Chemin<\/strong> means in French \u201chalfway there\u201d<\/em> and symbolically refers to two Grand Cru villages of the C\u00f4te des Blancs \u2013 Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger<\/strong> \u2013 in-between style.<\/p>

While Le Mesnil is known for its a Chardonnay with a very straight, chalky and sharp structure<\/strong> , while Oger brings to the blend slightly riper fruit and texture<\/strong>. A Mi Chemin combines these two characters \u2013 the result is a Champagne that is at once precise, mineral and yet deeper in texture<\/strong>.<\/p>

For Girard-Bonnet, this cuv\u00e9e is one of the core wines<\/strong>, because it shows most clearly their understanding of C\u00f4te des Blancs Chardonnay: pure, terroir-focused and with very low dosage.<\/p>

Winemaking:<\/span><\/p>

The grapes come from from Grand Cru vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger<\/strong>, two of the best-known Chardonnay villages of the C\u00f4te des Blancs. The harvest is done by hand to preserve the quality and freshness of the grapes.<\/p>

Pressing is gentle, and fermentation takes place both in stainless steel tanks as well as in neutral oak barrels<\/strong>. This combination preserves the pure fruit profile of the Chardonnay while adding a little more texture and depth to the wine.<\/p>

After the primary fermentation, the wine matures for a long time on the lees<\/strong>, which gives the Champagne complexity, a finer mousse and nuances of brioche before it is recorked.<\/p>

Tasting notes:<\/span><\/h3>

On the nose come lemon zest, white peach and green apple<\/strong>, complemented by chalky minerality and a light marine salinity<\/strong>. Maturation on the lees gives the wine notes of brioche and roasted almond<\/strong>.<\/p>

On the palate, the wine is taut and very precise<\/strong>. Citrus acidity gives the wine a clear structure, while its Oger origin adds a little more fruit and texture to the mid-palate. The finish is long, dry and mineral<\/strong>, where notes of lemon and chalk linger.<\/p>

Food pairing:<\/span><\/p>

A Mi Chemin pairs especially well with dishes where pure flavour and fine texture<\/strong>.<\/p>

A good match, for example:<\/p>

  • scallops or langoustine<\/p><\/li>

  • white fish with beurre blanc sauce<\/p><\/li>

  • oysters and other fresh seafood<\/p><\/li>

  • sashimi or lightly marinated fish<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    The wine\u2019s taut acidity and low dosage also help to balance slightly richer fish dishes<\/strong>, bringing the flavours of the dish clearly to the fore.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Ageing potential:<\/span><\/h3>\n

    A Mi Chemin is enjoyable young thanks to its fresh, taut structure, but develops very well in bottle 8\u201312 years<\/strong>. Over time the aromas deepen and there emerge ripe apple, toasted nuts and brioche nuances<\/strong>, while the mineral structure remains clearly perceptible.<\/p>\n
