From our sommeliers
Bollinger's 'B16' Champagne is one of the most refined expressions of the latest Grand Crus and Premier Crus of the Montagne de Reims. A traditional wine, it is made entirely in barrels and bottled with corks, a rare practice in the cellar. The nose offers a very fine floral profile, followed by intriguing hints of bergamot and almond pastries. On the palate, it reveals a silky, balanced and persistent texture of great elegance. Excellent with both shellfish and white meats. The 'maison' has created a special Michelin-starred recipe to accompany it: Veal consommé with sweetbreads, lemon and fennel
Colour:
Bright golden yellow with brilliant reflections and dense perlage
Scent:
Floral with hawthorn, jasmine and acacia, followed by intriguing bergamot and lemon, honey and almond pastries
Taste:
Silky and airy, rich and fresh, delicate on the finish with great persistence
