An intense creaminess is immediately apparent, alongside salty oyster shell, subtle smokiness and freshly cut Golden Delicious flesh. More air brings an overtone of salted caramel, of butterscotch. The palate is wonderfully defined in its salty, curvy body, which leans into its sinuous shape with gusto. The texture is creamy, but there is a vein of finest freshness that makes this exuberant, precise, inviting, joyous and celebratory. The finish is long and creamy.
Producer Information
Champagne Bollinger is one of the most famous houses in Champagne, in northern France. It is notable for its muscular, Pinot Noir-dominant cuvée, and is widely available around the world. The house, originally known as Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie, was founded in 1829. It passed through generations of the family of Bollinger until 2008 when, for the first time in its history, the chairman came from outside of the family. Champagne Bollinger is still independently owned by Société Jacques Bollinger. Bollinger is located in Aÿ in the heart of Champagne, and the majority of the vines are located on premier cru and grand cru plots. The house style is focused on Pinot Noir, with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier being used to enhance rather than dominate. Pinot Noir makes up no less than 60 percent of all of the Bollinger collection, and there is no Blanc de Blanc in the portfolio. Two thirds of the grapes are estate grown, with the rest coming from growers with a long history with the house; all plots are vinified separately to allow for each specific terroir to be fully expressed. Bollinger manages 169 hectares (417 acres) of vineyards.
