Description

Pinot Noir, a fresh interpretation of the Bollinger Style

A predominant grape across the range, Pinot Noir is the pillar of the Bollinger style, and the House has forged its reputation by showcasing this variety. Bollinger PN embodies the ambition to bring to light the variety of expressions of pinot noir by selecting the finest varietal from several terroirs, each contributing a unique component to the overall taste.

An assembly with a unique flavour, showcasing the specific qualities of the Aÿ terroir

PN AYC18 is an assembly of 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from the Aÿ cru. It is blended with other villages on the Montage de Reims, such as Tauxières and Verzenay. The base year is 2018. Older wines also feature from our reserve magnums, the oldest of which dates back to 2009.

Its ageing period in the cellar is twice as long as required by appellation regulations and its dosage is moderate : 6 grams per litre.

The unique vision of the taste of Pinot Noir by Maison Bollinger

In Champagne, the 2018 vintage was characterised by abundant yields and an early harvest. Chalk moderated conditions in Grands Crus vineyards, resulting in particularly outstanding, very concentrated grapes with a natural average ripeness and powerful acidity

Golden with bronze reflections

To the nose

Notes of honey, fruit jellies , quince and candied citrus. Aromas of marzipan and blood orange complement a nose full of sweet spices and a refreshing hint of menthol.

On the palate

Serious , understated and rich, beautifully expansive with a finish full of confit citrus which enhances the wine’s freshness.
