PN TX17 con astuccio

Bollinger is synonymous with excellence in the world of Champagne, for its long history full of great labels that still conquer the palate of sparkling wine lovers all over the world. It was founded in Ay in 1829, near Epernay on the slopes of the Reims Mountains by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin and Jacques Bollinger. After 5 generations leaded by the Bollinger dynasty, in 2008 the property passed into the hands of Jérôme Philipon, who invested new resources on the glorious brand respecting its tradition. Unlike the vast majority of champagne housess, Bollinger directly uses grapes grown in his own vineyards, among which the Pinot Noir variety is the most cultivated of the three, together with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. 85% of the vineyards are certified as Grand Cru, while the tunnels of the underground cellars of Bollinger wind their way for kilometers in the living stone, producing and storing champagne according to the dictates of tradition that bring the Maison to the top of world production.

The grapes used for this PN TX17 Champagne come from the villages of Verzenay, Aÿ, Bouzy and Tauxières. As tradition has it, it’s a cuvée produced with the juice of the first pressing of the bunches. The second fermentation is followed by a long period of aging on the lees before disgorgement. The aromatic spectrum is of great intensity, the aromas of peach and apricot combine with notes of hazelnut and acacia flowers, while on the finish it ends with a lively aromatic note reminiscent of yuzu. A unique Champagne for Pinot Noir connoisseurs, who does not mind resting in the cellar.
