Domaine B. Girardin is a family estate where the 2nd and 3rd generation of winemakers work four-handed.
As an independent winemaker, we do everything ourselves. All our champagnes are made entirely from grapes grown in our own vineyards, which we cultivate, press and then vinify in our winery in Mancy.
We are lucky enough to grow our vines on two very distinct terroirs:
Coteaux Sud d'Épernay and Vitryat.
Each of them has very different characteristics, giving us a wide range of blending possibilities!

APPOGGIATURE
Brut sans Année
Appoggiature is an ornament used to delay the next note on which emphasis is desired.
Appoggiature sums up the universe of our champagnes: assertive olfactory expressions. A palate in perfect harmony with the nose. Taste sensations that continue with round, long, structured notes.
Aromas of vine flowers, white-fleshed fruit, saline and lemony notes, Appoggiature envelops your palate throughout the tasting experience.
60% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier, 10% Pinot Noir

VIBRATO
Blanc de Blancs
The meeting of two Champagne terroirs (Mancy and Vitry en Perthois) has shaped the originality of this Blanc de Blancs, with the complexity imposed by two styles of Chardonnay, developing on two different yet divinely complementary soils.
This lively Champagne Vibrato will, in turn, show you the frank, mineral side of Mancy, then turns into to the exotic, fatty side of Vitryat. Or the other way round.
The originality of this champagne lies in its ability to take you from one gustatory universe to another with every sip.

POINT D'ORGUE
Vintage 2012
The 2012 Point d'orgue suspends time, the time of a harvest, followed by long, constructive years.
Having accepted this period of ageing imposed by the typicity of a fine harvest year and the structure of this champagne, this fine vintage is at its peak.
With its subtle scents of cinnamon and bergamot, it reveals a fresh palate, gliding over notes of sweet spices and honey.

POINT D'ORGUE
Vintage 2007
This is a cuvée that displays with panache the magic of a vintage champagne, embellished by the ageing time imposed by the Winemaker.
Fifteen years on the lath to bring you this champagne, structured by 40% pinot noir, deep and warm.
A wine that lovers of vintage champagnes will appreciate, that food and champagne enthusiasts will love to suggest, that nature lovers will love to enjoy after a good day out, in a perfect moment of relaxation.

COLORATURA
Champagne Rosé
The harvest was long and laborious because there were so many small bunches to pick, so we had to wait longer at the press before we could let the grapes macerate for six hours in the press, allowing the anthocyanins to be released and revealing the original colour of Champagne.
Born from the 2021 harvest and made from the Meunier grape variety from our oldest vines in Mancy, Coloratura reveals its colourful charm when served in flutes.
The nose and palate are in perfect harmony, releasing a multitude of red fruit aromas amidst a fine salinity.
Ease and elegance.
100% Meunier
Brut Nature
RUBATO
Sweet champagne
We're going to slow down the pace with this cuvée, an aesthete of forgotten champagnes, with a resolutely sweet dosage, curious and splendid at the same time, in this bluffing wine-liquor balance.
Dare to go beyond your preconceptions to discover a champagne that shines for its rarity and originality, timeless and unconventional.
It's a discovery that makes you realise what's at stake with a champagne that's excellently balanced, in perfect harmony with the structure of the wine, and expressly created to be served as a sweet wine.
And so deliciously perfect with a wide range of dishes.
