Champagne B. Girardin
The cuvées
Each name is a musical gesture. The range is also gathering into three collections: Première Partition, Hors du Temps and Anima Vinea. Those collections do not have published texts yet. The cuvées can already be read under their own names.

Appoggiature
Non-vintage brut
An appoggiatura is an ornament that delays the next note, the one meant to be emphasised.

Vibrato
Blanc de blancs
Two Champagne terroirs, Mancy and Vitry-en-Perthois, meet in this blanc de blancs. Two styles of Chardonnay, two soils, and a complementarity that gives the wine its complexity.

A cuvée that shows what vintage champagne gains from the time the winemaker chose to give it.

Rubato
Sweet champagne
The tempo slows. Rubato is a sweet champagne, curious and splendid, held by the balance between wine and liqueur.
