This wine is particularly aimed at “wine buffs”, enthusiasts who are already partial wine connoisseurs and who want to explore further afield to take an interest in single-parcel cuvees, in forgotten grapes or in other curiosities. But, PN is above all a cuvee for enthusiasts to discover together, looking for simplicity and a shared experience. The target audience generally pay special attention to the way products are made and are sensitive to the concept of transparency.

The concept is based on the taste of Pinot Noir by Champagne Bollinger. Each year, an organoleptic profile of the specific grape is showcased according to a vintage and a specific terroir/cru, then highlighted and combined with different reserve wines.

Bollinger PN AYC18 is the fourth edition in the Bollinger PN range, showcasing the specific characteristics of the Aÿ terroir, the main cru of its blend. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, Bollinger PN has been crafted by the House to express its unique vision of this specific grape variety. A predominant grape across the range, Pinot Noir is the pillar of the Bollinger style. Bollinger PN embodies the ambition to bring to light the variety of expressions of Pinot Noir by selecting the finest varietal from several terroirs, each contributing a unique component to the overall taste. In Champagne, the 2018 vintage was characterised by abundant yields and an early harvest. Chalk moderated conditions in Grands Crus vineyards, resulted in particularly outstanding, very concentrated grapes with a natural average ripeness and powerful acidity. Reserve wines contribute to the wine’s exceptional aromatic intensity, especially the Pinots Noirs aged in magnums for almost 11 years, bringing further complexity to the blend.
