Champagne Blanc de Noirs 'PN VZ16' Bollinger

Bollinger

Bollinger's Champagne Blanc de Noirs 'PN VZ16' is a wine made from Pinot Noir grapes from the communes of Verzenay, Avenay and Tauxières. A wise blend of several vintages that results in a creamy, fresh and structured wine in which aromas of tropical fruit and yuzu give way to delicate nuances of toasted hazelnut, while the palate is fine and persistent, thanks to a balsamic and mineral finish

CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE NOIRS 'PN VZ16' BOLLINGER DESCRIPTION

The Champagne Blanc de Noirs "PN VZ16" Bollinger is a high-end label from the famous Maison in Ay and a true symbol of elegance. The classic style, which has made Bollinger legendary throughout the world, can also be found in this cuvée made from grapes selected from the Pinot Noir vineyards that guarantee the best production each year. Each edition the label changes its composition, with the aim of best interpreting the particular characteristics of the vintage. The remarkable richness and aromatic concentration of the grapes, combined with long ageing on the lees, give a complex, intense and persistent Champagne. A label destined for the great connoisseurs, who love cuvée prestige.

The Blanc de Noirs "PN VZ16" Champagne Bollinger is the emblem of the House, perfectly in line with the predilection for Pinot Noir, which has always been the most important and characterising grape variety in its legendary cuvées. The label was created precisely to highlight the different expressions of the grape varieties in the various terroirs of the estate. Each year, a Cru is chosen as the protagonist of the blend, marking its personality. The PN VZ16 version is made from a majority proportion of grapes from Verzenay, supplemented by Pinot Noirs from other Montagne de Reims crus such as Avenay or Tauxières. Each vineyard is vinified separately and when the cuvée is created, reserve wines are added to the base wines of the vintage to give complexity and aromatic maturity. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with ageing on the lees for approximately 4 years.

The "PN VZ16" is a Champagne Blanc de Noirs that the Maison Bollinger produces to enhance the nuances of each vintage, supporting its personality through a careful choice of the crus that best highlight its peculiarities. In the glass, it is pale yellow in colour with golden reflections. The perlage is very fine and persistent. Refined and complex, the bouquet expresses fruity aromas of apple, mirabelle plum, dried fruit, hazelnuts and toasted almonds and delicately spicy hints. The entry on the palate is harmonious and creamy, with deep and complex aromas that leave room for tertiary notes. The finish is long, savoury and very fresh. This is a Champagne with a clear gastronomic vocation, to be enjoyed with baked fish, fish in sauce, roast or spit-roasted poultry.
