| Description: | Bollinger Pn Tx 17 is the third and latest edition in the Bollinger Pn series, dedicated to the terroir expression of Pinot Noir. A predominant grape across the range, Pinot Noir is the pillar of the Bollinger style, and the House has forged its reputation by showcasing this variety. 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. Pn Tx 17 is an assembly of 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from the Tauxières cru. It is blended with other villages on the Montage de Reims, such as Avenay and Verzenay. The base year is 2017. Older wines also feature from Bollinger reserve magnums, the oldest of which dates back to 2006. Its aging period in the cellar is twice as long as required by appellation regulations and its dosage is very low : 4 grams per liter. The first edition, Pn Vz 15, was based on fruit from the Verzenay terroir, considered a small revolution for a house heavily associated with the Aÿ terroir. It came as a surprise, therefore, when the second edition, Pn Vz 16, was also from Verzenay. ‘This time round, everyone thought the focus would be on Aÿ, the emblematic cru of the house of Bollinger, but it is in fact Tauxières,' says Bunner. Another surprise. Overall, this is a very rare, prestigious Champagne from one of our all-time favorite houses. |
