Description

The PN VZ 19 cuvée from Champagne Bollinger is a true ode to Pinot Noir. Crafted exclusively from this noble grape variety, this cuvée showcases the signature grape of the Bollinger style. It is a champagne of character, both subtle and complex, carried by the exceptional 2019 vintage.

The Making of the PN VZ 19 Bollinger Cuvée

The PN VZ 19 cuvée is made from 100% Pinot Noir, a choice that perfectly reflects Bollinger's DNA. The main cru of this edition is Verzenay, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, renowned for its Pinot Noir of great finesse. This blend also includes grapes from other iconic villages such as Aÿ, Avenay, Louvois, Mutigny, and Tauxières. The base year of this cuvée is 2019, but it also includes reserve wines, the oldest dating back to 2009, to add extra depth.

The vinification of this cuvée follows a rigorous process: Bollinger uses only the cuvée, i.e., the first pressings of the grapes, which are the most qualitative. The long aging in the cellar of this cuvée ensures exceptional complexity and finesse. The moderate dosage of 6 grams per liter preserves the purity of the aromas and the expression of the Pinot Noir.
