✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bollinger's PN AYC18 is a remarkable testament to the house's historic mastery of Pinot Noir, a grape that has defined the Bollinger style since its founding in Ay in 1829. This specific cuvée, part of the acclaimed PN series designed to explore the unique terroirs of Champagne, shines a spotlight on the Grand Cru village of Ay, using the 2018 vintage as its foundation. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, the blend incorporates older reserve wines, some of which are aged in magnums under cork in Bollinger's deep, chalky cellars to preserve freshness and complexity. Fermented partially in oak barrels, this Blanc de Noirs captures the powerful, structured, and deeply aromatic character of Ay's sun-drenched, chalk-rich slopes, offering a rich tapestry of stone fruits, toasted brioche, and a signature mineral precision.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne Bollinger blev grundlagt i 1829 i Grand Cru-landsbyen Aÿ af Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin og Jacques Bollinger og regnes i dag blandt de mest agtede og traditionsrige familieejede huse i Champagne. Huset bygger på et kompromisløst fokus på håndværk og udmærker sig især ved konsekvent fadgæring på egetræsfade, eget bødkeri og en usædvanlig lang lagring i kældrene under naturkork. Pinot Noir udgør den kraftfulde og strukturerede rygrad i husets stil og hentes primært fra Bollingers egne, omfattende parceller i Premier og Grand Cru-marker. Bollinger er verdenskendt for sine fyldige og komplekse cuvéer, der spænder fra signaturvinen Special Cuvée og årgangschampagnen La Grande Année til den legendariske R.D. samt den sjældne, rodægte Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
