Bettane et Desseauve
Idée de créer un petit frčre de Vieilles Vignes Franįaises plus accessible tous les ans. Le cru principal est Verzenay vendanges 2015 et le plus vieux 2009. Le choix consiste ā mettre en avant le village qui brillera le plus, ce qui donne de la liberté et la faculté dexplorer les différents terroirs. 50% de vin de lannée, 50% de vin sous bois, 80% du vignoble maison, 50% de vins de réserve dont 23% conservés en magnum. C'est un or concentré aux parfums trčs zestés de pamplemousse rose, d'orange sanguine. L'expression d'un pinot noir trčs étirée vers les épices orientales, poivre exotique, le litchi et la prune blanche. Sentiment ciselé de profondeur fruité. Bouche immédiatement rocheuse, sapide, saline et magnétique. Magnifique fruité blanc transparent et chirurgical, le pilier du bois et au service de la pureté et des grands équilibres. Un grand vin de terroir trčs vivant et proche des matičres originelles.
VertdeVin
(base 2015) The nose is elegant, racy, full of accuracy / delicacy and offers a beautiful precision, deepness as well as complexity. It reveals notes of dried almond, cherry pit, nutmeg and small notes quince associated with a touch of yellow peach, a fine touch of crystallized / jammy fruits as well as discreet hints of spices, toasted hazelnut and a very discreet touch of pâtisseries. The palate is fruity, fresh, elegant, racy, while length / stretched and offers gourmandize, a small aerial side, deepness as well as complexity. The effervescence is elegant, precise and beautifully fine. On the palate this Champagne wine expresses notes of lemon, citron and small notes of yellow peach associated with fine touches of white peach, ripe apricot, discreet hints of lychee, almond, nutmeg as well as with a discreet hint of acacia and egg cream. Very beautiful length and acidulous persistence. Superb precision!
Falstaff
Pale yellow gold with silver reflections and a fine, rather delicate mousse. A touch of yellow gooseberry, delicate pineapple, white flowers, honeydew melon notes and subtle tangerine zest. Taut, complex and tightly meshed on the palate, white apple fruit, the 8 or so grams of sugar lend a fruity opulence, some baking and honey on the finish, will certainly benefit from a few years of bottle ageing, very approachable style.

New fixed launches of wines in Bollinger's range are as rare as solar eclipses and it is of course with high expectations that I want to get to know this new wine half vinified on oak barrels. The wine's name is PN and will follow in many different editions in the future. The presentation is brilliant and for the thoughts of the house's legendary blanc de noirs Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Franįaises. The first edition has the surname VZ 15. A Verzenay blanc de noirs with sprinkles of A˙, Bouzy and Tauxičres where 50% of the wine comes from 2015 with reserve wines on magnum down to 2009. Verzenay and A˙ are, as you know, the dominant villages in Bollinger's vintage wines. It is no surprise that Verzenay is the leading terroir this very hot year. Verzenay is often the chalky and mineral-rich backbone of Bollinger's vintage build-up. The wine is vibrantly fresh, mineral-driven and extremely pure. Here is a clarity and sharpness that is outstanding where gunpowder notes and aroma of grilled meat develops as the glass warms up slightly. Maybe a bit naked and with a large portion of unresolved fruit. Still, I love this wine as it is a perfect creation from one of the most important villages in the whole of Champagne dominated by the aforementioned minerality, but also with notes of violet and red grapefruit so typical of Verzenay of the highest class. The scent gets more and more notes of pears, figs and freshly baked baguette on aeration and the taste develops towards peach and apricot jam. Personally, though, I will wait as long as I can before opening my own bottles to get the increasing depth of caramel and grilled hazelnut flavor that only time in the cellar can provide.

Disgorged in November 2019 with seven grams per liter dosage, Bollinger's new NV Brut Blanc de Noirs PN VZ15 is based on the 2015 vintage, with reserve wines dating back to 2009, and derives largely from the village of Verzenay. Offering up aromas of green pear, honeycomb, rye toast, candied peel and buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and enveloping, with a creamy attack, fine depth at the core and ripe but racy acids, complemented by a pinpoint mousse. This is a charming, gourmand and elegantly balanced Blanc de Noirs that represents a fine addition to the Bollinger portfolio.

My recent visit to Champagne Bollinger focused on a mini-vertical of the house's R. D., soon to be chronicled in a separate report, but I also took the opportunity to look at new releases. One wine that I was quite unprepared for was the magical 2008 Vieilles Vignes Françaises: one of the very finest wines produced in this important vintage, and unquestionably the most powerful and dramatic Champagne of the year. More attainable for mortals, however, Bollinger's Special Cuvée is on fine form these days, reflecting efforts to ensure that it contains the maximum of wood-aged vins clairs, as well as farming that stands out as some of the best in the region—something that will safeguard this bottling's status as a benchmark in the years to come.'

Konceptet PN hos Bollinger
Alla Bollingers champagner består främst av Pinot Noir - detta är husets stil och egenskaper.
Den exklusiva och sällsynta cuvée Vieilles Vignes Françaises är gjord exklusivt av Pinot Noir - och nu får denna cuvée en lillasyster i Cuvée PN. Cuvée PN är en hyllning till Pinot Noir-druvan som utgör hörnstenen i alla Bollingers champagner. Samtidigt är denna cuvée Bollingers bud på en terroirchampagne.
PN är faktiskt en NV, inte årgång, men det grundläggande vinet består fortfarande av en enda årgång, varför vi väljer att skriva årgången på. Grundvinet kompletteras med reservvin från olika årgångar - i den här versionen finns reservvin från 2009. Samtidigt kommer basvinet alltid från en enda cru - i det här fallet Verzenay. Men cru-appellationen kommer att ändras från gång till gång när vinet släpps. Liksom alla andra Bollingers andra champagner, flaskas vinet i magnumflaskor. Cuvée PN tillverkas i ett begränsat antal flaskor. Vinet har den klassiska och komplexa Bollinger-rikedom som är signaturen för alla husets viner - detta är en nyfödd klassiker med rika toner av delikat frukt, en antydan till brioche och honung.

2015
★★★★
Efter en kall och regnig vinter fick man lita till en strålande solig inledning på sommaren. Lyckligtvis föll en del regn i au-gusti, och när skörden bärgades under perfekta förhållanden i september kunde man se fram emot mycket fina viner trots en mycket låg syra.
Här finns likheter med 1947, så ett långt liv trots den låga syran och den feta frukten går inte att utesluta. Faktum är att årgången är en av de tre varmaste på hundra år. Allra mest imponerad har jag hittills varit av några vansinnigt rena och yppigt moderna viner från ren pinot meunier med Maillart Mont Martin från Villers-Allerand som största stjärna. Håll ögonen öppna efter viner från Marnedalen i synnerhet. Ledare just nu är 2015 Bollinger P.N. Verzenay och Marguet Ambonnay La Grande Ruelle.
