Highlights: Champagne Bollinger PN VZ19 France
Very impressed by this prestige bottling from Bollinger.
Champagne Bollinger PN VZ19 France
12.5% alcohol. This is 100% Pinot Noir, base wine 2019 and reserve wines going back to 2009. It’s mostly from Verzenay, hence the code name. This is a beautiful expression of Pinot with lovely fruit focus, showing mandarin, cherry and lemon notes, as well as subtle toastiness and a nice saline underlay. This is linear with nice bright acidity, but it also has the Pinot Noir richness. I really like the saline undertow here. Very serious and utterly delicious, justifying its high price tag (just a shade under £100 in the UK). 95/100
