Champagne Bollinger PN AYC 18 in Gift Box

Each edition expresses a main cru and a base year, carefully selected by Champagne Bollinger, allowing the cuvée to reinvent itself year after year. One of the characteristic features of the Bollinger PN cuvée is the way it captures different styles of Pinot Noir: The PN AYC18 offers a new vision of Maison Bollinger's mastery of this grape variety.

As the fourth edition of Bollinger PN, the PN AYC 18 is a champagne with a distinctive style that highlights the specificities of the Aÿ terroir, the most important cru in the blend, and is predominantly made from the 2018 base year.

PN AYC18 is an assemblage of 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from the Aÿ cru. It is blended with other villages of the Montage de Reims, such as Tauxières and Verzenay. The base year is 2018. There are also older wines from our reserve magnums, the oldest of which dates back to 2009.
Its maturation period in the cellar is twice as long as required by the appellation regulations, and its dosage is moderate: 6 grams per liter.

Color: Golden with bronze reflections
Nose: Notes of honey, fruit gums, quince and candied citrus fruits. Aromas of marzipan and blood orange complement a nose full of sweet spices and a refreshing hint of menthol.
Taste: Serious, discreet and rich, beautifully expansive with a finish full of candied citrus fruits that underlines the wine's freshness.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Serving suggestion: Scallop carpaccio with citrus quince and almond cake

PN AYC18 is intended for wine lovers looking for different expressions of Pinot Noir from Champagne. We recommend serving PN AYC18 at a temperature between 10 and 11°C to highlight its unique style and aromas. You can enjoy this wine immediately or store it in the cellar for further aging.
