Girard-Bonnet’s Recueil Extrait N°3 is the estate’s first Rosé Champagne, created as a one-time cuvée exploring the best of two Rosé-making techniques. It combines the expressive fruit of maceration with the balance and consistency of a blended Rosé, resulting in a fresh, harmonious and versatile Champagne that is especially well suited to aperitif occasions.
Style
A unique, experimental Rosé Champagne made from 100% Meunier, combining the finesse of blending with the depth of maceration. Structured, fresh, and expressive.
Vineyard
Sourced from Morangis, on the south-facing slopes of Épernay. Massal-selection Meunier vines planted in 1969, providing maturity, concentration, and character.
Winery
Made from a combination of Blanc de Meunier and macerated fully destemmed grapes. Aged on lees to develop texture and complexity.
Production
One-off cuvée
Nose / Palate
Red berries, blood orange, subtle spice, and delicate floral notes. Fresh and balanced, with fine texture, vibrant acidity, and a clean, energetic finish.
Girard-Bonnet is an emerging grower-producer in the Côte des Blancs, crafting highly limited Champagnes from just 12 hectares of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards.
Founded by young vigneron Paul Girard (born 1995) - connecting his father, Philippe Girard’s holdings in Les Mesnil, and his mother, Dominique Bonnet’s holdings in Oger - the estate represents a new generation focused on organic and biodynamic farming, with certification achieved in 2022 and ongoing Demeter conversion.
Producing only around 10–20,000 bottles annually, the wines are rare, precise expressions of 100% Chardonnay from prestigious sites like Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Paul’s hands-on, low-intervention approach - using natural fermentations and extended lees aging - highlights purity, texture, and terroir.
This is a fresh, forward-thinking Champagne house, rapidly gaining attention for its authenticity and small-scale craftsmanship.
