PN VZ 19 is a 100% Pinot-focused blend with the majority of the grapes coming from the Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay based on the 2019 vintage. With the high proportion of Pinot coming from the chalky soils of Verzenay, PN VZ 19 showcases the charm of this unique terroir. Wonderful depth, elegance and tension, combine with a beautiful saline finish. 2019 ranks among the best of Champagne’s recent vintages and the cool, north-eastern slopes of Verzenay uphold compelling tension in the midst of a warming climate. Tyson Stelzer Pinot Noir is one of the key pillars of the Bollinger style and the Maison has built its reputation by showcasing this grape variety. The wonderful smoky, nutty and caramel tones imparted by Bollinger’s distinct foudre ageing (50% of the wines are fermented in oak barrels) are already present and the reserve wines add to its exceptional aromatic intensity. The PN cuvée is the result of research into the different styles of Pinot Noir and its different origins in Champagne. It represents a continuation of the Maison’s heritage and an affirmation of the legendary Bollinger style, while also being a wine that reinvents itself year after year. In this way, each new edition offers a new interpretation of Champagne Bollinger’s vineyards and savoir-faire.
