Tasting Notes : Rich aromas lead to a palate combining crystallised fruit flavours, vanilla hints and superb length with power and finesse.
Producer : Bollinger
Method of Production : After hand-picking, the grapes were pressed gently and the juice settled. The clear must was fermented in a mix of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Before bottling for the second fermentation, up to 10% of reserve wines were added to the blend (wines aged in 1.5l bottles for 5 to 15 years after their first fermentation in oak). Once bottled the blend was aged on its yeast lees for a minimum of 3 years, imparting a delicious creamy toastiness.
Grape mix : 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier
