Bollinger PN TX17 Champagne, 75 cl

This is Bollinger’s 2nd release of their ‘PN’ collection of Champagnes. Each release is highly limited and will explore and express the differences in expression from each of this wonderful House’s terroirs. Vineyards in Tauxieres were the base of this release, hence the TX. The House of Champagne Bollinger was founded in 1829 in the village of Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region. Famous for its use of Pinot Noir and oak ageing techniques, the Bollinger wines are defined as much by the vines and the terroir as they are by the art of their blending and vinification. Sustainability and organic principles are key to the House’s philosophy, with Bollinger the first Champagne House to be awarded the Haute Valeur Environmentale certification. The quality and quest for perfection for which Bollinger is renowned was recognised by the Court of England when, in 1884, the House was the first in Champagne to be awarded a Royal Warrant, which it has held ever since. Bollinger also has several iconic partnerships. In particular, as the preferred champagne of James Bond, celebrating 40 years of the partnership in 2019. The House is also the official champagne supplier of England Rugby and supports the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, an annual literary award for comic writingBollinger’s 2nd PN expression does not disappoint. A superb Champagne with lively fruit and citrus flavours that eventually lead to a finish of red fruits as well. An elegant and complex Champagne.
