Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises Blanc de Noirs Brut Grand Cru 2013
Champagne AOC - Prestigioso style, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier
Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises Blanc de Noirs Brut Grand Cru 2013
The Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2013 is a monument to the history of Champagne. Produced in infinitesimal quantities from two small plots spared by phylloxera (Clos St-Jacques and Chaudes Terres), it represents the absolute and ancestral purity of Pinot Noir. The 2013 vintage, marked by a late ripening and vibrant freshness, gives this wine an almost electric tension. On the nose, it is monumental: notes of tarte tatin, candied ginger, white truffle, and undergrowth blend with a powerful chalky minerality. On the palate, the experience is physical; the wine has immense flesh, a vinous intensity that challenges the senses, yet it is lifted by citric acidity and saline sapidity that make each sip endless. It is a "total" wine, where the power of the wood and the grape variety reach a perfect synthesis.
