Customer Reviews
The significant proportion of Verzenay in this edition’s blend expresses the characteristics of the Pinot Noir from this terroir : depth, elegance and tension. Pinot Noir from other villages — Avenay and Tauxières — were added and act in aromatic synergy to bring further complexity to the blend. 2016 was particularly favourable to Pinots Noirs form the Montagne de Reims, in particular at the Verzenay vineyard. The grapes’ natural maturity was 10.6 degrees there, whereas the average in Champagne settled at 9.8, thus giving the wine generosity and delicacy. The reserve wines contribute to the wine’s exceptional aromatic intensity, especially the Pinots Noirs aged in magnums for almost 10 years.
In the glass, this VZ16 edition opens with fruity notes of apple, rhubarb, quince and mirabelle plum. The rich, complex nose then develops towards hazelnut aromas. On the palate, a wonderful creamy effervescence yields to a delectable and expressive quality. Exotic flavours, with brioche and hints of stewed fruit, precede a saline finish.
Bollinger PN VZ16 is a 100% Pinot Noir focused blend with the majority of the fruit coming from Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay. Famed for its Pinot Noir, there is no surprise that Bollinger’s signature rich, open style shines through and this is a wonderful example of the ‘Burgundy-vinosity’ character of the House. The high proportion of Verzenay in the blend showcases the charm of Pinot Noir from this unique terroir; depth, elegance, energy and tension, combine with a beautiful saline finish. The wonderful smoky, nutty and caramel tones imparted by Bollinger’s distinct foudre ageing are already present and the reserve wines, aged for 10 years en magnum, add to its exceptional aromatic intensity.
