✨ Technical Specifications
Bollinger's PN series was launched to showcase the unique expressions of Pinot Noir across the diverse terroirs of Champagne. The PN TX17 edition is a Blanc de Noirs crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir grown in the premier cru of Tauxières, with the 2017 vintage serving as its base. Tauxières is celebrated for its chalky soils that impart a distinct energy, structure, and precision to the Pinot Noir grape. To balance the challenging, cool 2017 growing season, Bollinger incorporated older reserve wines, including some aged in magnums under cork for up to 11 years, bringing the house's signature richness, complexity, and velvety texture. Fermented in seasoned oak casks and aged on its lees, this cuvée represents a masterful dialogue between a single grape, a specific base year, and Bollinger's historic blending heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1829 in the grand cru village of Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, Champagne Bollinger stands as one of the most revered and historic family-owned houses in the Champagne region of France. Built upon an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, the estate is distinguished by its meticulous use of oak barrel fermentation, an on-site cooperage, and extensive cellar aging under natural cork. Pinot Noir forms the powerful, structured backbone of the house style, sourced predominantly from Bollinger's extensive holdings in premier and grand cru vineyards. The house is globally celebrated for its rich and complex cuvées, ranging from the signature Special Cuvée and vintage-dated La Grande Année to the legendary R.D. and the exceptionally rare, ungrafted Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
