Bollinger continues to reinvent its intimate connection with Pinot Noir by unveiling a new interpretation of this iconic champagne: the PN VZ19 cuvée. Sourced primarily from the terroirs of Verzenay, a historic Grand Cru vineyard, this edition once again illustrates the House’s ability to capture the essence of the grape variety while celebrating the uniqueness of each vintage.

PN VZ19 Bollinger: Signature Cuvée

The creation of PN VZ19 Bollinger is based on a meticulous selection of terroirs, marrying Verzenay with other crus from the Montagne de Reims, such as Louvois and Aÿ. Each blend is the result of expertise where every decision matters, combining rigor and boldness in a masterful balance. Its moderate dosage (6g/L) and extended aging precisely reflect this attention to detail, an unmistakable signature of the House.

“This cuvée, entirely made from Pinot Noir, embodies what lies at the heart and DNA of our House: a singular vision of this emblematic grape variety, and an uncompromising commitment to carrying out the mission that has driven us since 1829, that of being creators of taste,” explains Charles-Armand de Belenet, Managing Director of Champagne Bollinger.

Naturally, the PN VZ19 Bollinger first captivates with its sparkling golden hue, promising an elegant and sophisticated experience. Upon opening, the nose reveals an aromatic palette where fleshy fruits meet exotic notes and red berries. The olfactory harmony is delicate, with each aroma harmonizing like movements in a perfectly orchestrated symphony.

On the palate, this 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs asserts a rich and nuanced character. The initial sensations reveal the lively acidity of Granny Smith apples, followed by the velvety touch of vineyard peaches. Then comes the subtle energy of blood oranges, adding a fresh and fruity dimension. The saline finish is reminiscent of Verzenay’s chalky soils, lending a refined mineral tension to the whole, resulting in a tasting experience full of finesse.

For those attentive to detail, this cuvée offers a subtle homage to timeless elegance, measured boldness, and the precision of craftsmanship. Qualities that discreetly evoke a certain sophistication, both literary and cinematic — a nod to the most discerning connoisseurs.

This is the essence of a House in constant pursuit of perfection. Another cornerstone in the Bollinger edifice, solid and radiant, with that touch of nonchalance that marks the greats.
