Second edition of Bollinger's PN collection, PN VZ16 is a blend with a unique flavor that highlights the distinctive characteristics of the wines of the Verzenay terroir, the main cru of its blend. The high percentage of Verzenay in this edition's blend brings the Pinot Noir characteristics of this terroir to the wine: depth, elegance and tension.

The elegance of the fruit is associated with its delicacy: flavors of pear, fresh almonds and tarte Tatin are distinguished by the uniqueness of a chiseled and mineral Pinot Noir with notes of citrus and candied lemon. A velvety persistence in the mouth with a salty note in the finish.

Bright straw yellow, very fine perlage. Nose with notes of sugared almonds, passion fruit, lashes of wild mint. Drink of persistence and crunchiness, with officinal-almond return and fruity finish.

It is a Brut Nature obtained from the grapes of the best Franciacorta crus and is the result of aging on the lees for over 48 months. A wine with a strong character, with great personality.
