Description

A blend of the 2014 vintage: 61% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay.

19 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay.

Exclusive use of the cuvée. Fermented entirely in aged oak barrels. At Bollinger, only very high-quality harvests become a vintage: the 2014 vintage gave rise to a wine that is simultaneously structured, rich and complex, in terms of both its minerality and exceptional intensity.

Review

Creamy, with good acid balance, layers of fruit fresh and aged notes emerging. Mouth-filling, elegant yet robust, lingers. Delightful, balanced with age and youth showing harmoniously.

A truly great Bollinger by every measure, blessed with incredible longevity, and grand testimony to the wizardry of this house to draw out all the glories of endurance and elegance from a less than a simple season.

Tasting Profile

Nose
A precise and fruity nose with a slight scent of sea air. Aromas of cherry and lemon mingle with quince and bergamot. Then notes of hazelnut and almond, peach, and mirabelle plum complete this wine’s range of aromas.
Palate
The initial sensation is a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a wonderful vinosity, and then balanced with delicate acidity. Its very fine texture and sea-air finish bring excellent length to the palate, accompanied by a delicate minerality and the complex flavours of orchard fruit and citrus. This wine unfurls gradually, revealing its full potential and intensity.
