Champagne "PN VZ16" - Bollinger Magnum 1,5 Lt.

Pinot Noir, an interpretation of the Bollinger style Pinot Noir is the essence of Bollinger Champagne and is one of its pillars. The Bollinger PN cuvée embodies the Maison's ambition to highlight the different expressions of Pinot Noir by selecting the finest grape variety from different terroirs, each with a unique taste. 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. Pinot Noir from other villages - Avenay and Tauxières - have been added and act in aromatic synergy to bring further complexity to the blend. The year 2016 was particularly favorable for the Pinot Noir of the Montagne de Reims, especially in the Verzenay vineyard. The natural ripeness of the grapes was 10.6 degrees, while the average in Champagne is 9.8, giving the wine generosity and delicacy. The reserve wines contribute to the exceptional aromatic intensity of the wine, linked in particular to the use of Pinot Noir aged in magnums for almost 10 years.
