Sparkling Wines

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.

Composed of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, it has been defined as a "multi-millésimé" Champagne. In its cuvée, at least four great vintages of previous vintages from the "Vins de Réserve ”. This gives a roundness and a complexity that with four years of aging in the cellar are refined in a perfect balance

The attack in the mouth is lively and fresh, very harmonious. Fruit and honey flavours then follow, in a delicate expression....

The body, intense and sparkling, is bright pink in colour. The bubbles are fine. The mousse is persistent. The nose is broad and expressive, fresh and young at the same time and releases aromas of red fruits (freshly crushed wild raspberries, cherries, blackcurrants). In the mouth, a fine balance of velvety and full-bodied unfolds. The flavours recall fresh, crisp red fruits. ...

A rich and complex bouquet revealing aromas of tart and candied fruits (lemon), citrus notes, where pollen (white flower), toasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla mingle. With aeration, the bouquet is enriched with sweet pastry and smoky notes from bottle ageing. Mouthfeel inviting, concentrated and chalky at the same time. The incredible tension and aromatic precision are perfectly...
