Regarding the Champagne Bollinger PN AYC21
Discover Bollinger's PN AYC21 champagne: P stands for Pinot, N for Noir, AY for Aÿ (the main cru, paired with Tauxières and Mutigny), and 21 for the base year, 2021, supplemented by 49% reserve wines (25% of which are aged in reserve magnums).
The 2021 vintage offers well-balanced acidity and lovely freshness, ideal for blending with the House’s reserve wines, which add complexity, depth, and stylistic continuity.
Pinot Noir is one of the cornerstones of the Bollinger style, and this cuvée is a true tribute to this grape variety. Each year, a new interpretation of Pinot Noir is revealed, and this cuvée highlights the distinctive terroir of Aÿ. This 100% Pinot Noir, with moderate dosage, showcases the full range of Bollinger’s artisanal expertise.
It undergoes partial vinification in oak barrels as well as extended aging in the cellar—more than twice as long as required by the appellation. On tasting, it reveals a golden-yellow color and a generous expression of yellow fruits and mirabelle plums, along with brioche-like notes. On the palate, the creamy texture is perfectly balanced with lovely liveliness, extended by a blood orange finish.
This Bollinger PN AYC21 champagne is a champagne for connoisseurs. It will accompany you from the aperitif through the meal—paired with roasted quail or simply a Chaource cheese—either enjoyed now or allowed to age further in your cellar.
