✨ Technical Specifications
Bollinger's PN series is a celebrated exploration of Pinot Noir, the house's signature grape. The PN TX20 edition is a Blanc de Noirs crafted predominantly from the Pinot Noir of Tauxières (TX), with the 2020 vintage (20) serving as its base. Tauxières is a premier cru on the cold, chalky slopes of the Montagne de Reims, prized for imparting a unique tension and vibrant acidity to the grape. True to Bollinger's historic craftsmanship, which dates back to 1829, this cuvée incorporates reserve wines aged in magnums under cork, blending the freshness of the base year with the complex, oxidative depth developed through oak barrel fermentation and extended cellar aging.
🍾 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.
