Bollinger PN AYC18

Bollinger PN AYC18 is the latest expression in Champagne Bollinger’s exploration of Pinot Noir, the house’s signature grape variety. This multi-vintage blend, based primarily on the 2018 harvest (AYC stands for *Assemblage Année de Base* C), highlights the depth and complexity that Pinot Noir brings to the Bollinger style. Sourced predominantly from the Grands and Premiers Crus of the Montagne de Reims, particularly Verzenay, this expression is carefully matured to showcase a powerful yet elegant structure. It offers a refined bouquet of rich, ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and hints of toasted bread and spice from its barrel-aged reserve wines. On the palate, it delivers a generous texture, with a persistent finish that balances freshness with the characteristic Bollinger intensity. This wine is a testament to the house’s dedication to this noble grape.
