Newcomer to the grower-producer scene is Paul Giard, who is making waves with Grand Cru blanc de blancs produced from Chardonnay vines with an average age of 50+ years... double the age that he is. This extra brut NV release is composed of half 2019 and half reserve juice, aged on lees then dosed with 2g/L. The result is a mineral driven, fresh and floral Champagne that embodies the youthful exuberance of Girard-Bonnet.
