Bollinger PNAYC18 150cl
12% abv
“Based on the 2018 vintage, complemented by reserve wines aged in magnum dating back to 2009, Bollinger’s newly released NV Brut Blanc de Noirs PN AYC18 was disgorged this year with six grams per liter dosage. Foregrounding the village of Aÿ, a commune crucial to Bollinger’s distinctive style, the wine wafts from the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, buttered toast, freshly baked bread and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous, with an ample core of fruit that’s girdled by lively acids and animated by an elegant pinpoint mousse, this suave, charming Champagne concludes with a chalky finish. This has turned out beautifully.” 2023 – 2035

Golden with bronze reflections. The aroma of the AYC edition is first characterised by notes of honey, fruit jellies, quince and candied citrus. Aromas of marzipan and blood orange also complement the nose. On the palate, it is understated and rich, with a beautifully expansive finish, full of confit citrus which enhances the wine’s freshness.
Bollinger PN AYC18 is the fourth edition in the Bollinger PN range, showcasing the specific characteristics of the Aÿ terroir, the main cru of its blend. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, Bollinger PN has been crafted by the House to express its unique vision of this specific grape variety. A predominant grape across the range, Pinot Noir is the pillar of the Bollinger style. Bollinger PN embodies the ambition to bring to light the variety of expressions of Pinot Noir by selecting the finest varietal from several terroirs, each contributing a unique component to the overall taste. In Champagne, the 2018 vintage was characterised by abundant yields and an early harvest. Chalk moderated conditions in Grands Crus vineyards, resulted in particularly outstanding, very concentrated grapes with a natural average ripeness and powerful acidity. Reserve wines contribute to the wine’s exceptional aromatic intensity, especially the Pinots Noirs aged in magnums for almost 11 years, bringing further complexity to the blend.
