Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2012 — an exceptionally rare cuvée from ungrafted old-vine Pinot Noir.
From the house of Bollinger (founded 1829), this legendary cuvée is drawn from old, ungrafted Pinot Noir vines — some over fifty years old — rooted in the prestigious crus of Aÿ, Verzy and Tours-sur-Marne. Their intensity translates into a Champagne of remarkable depth and elegance.
Full-bodied, rich and creamy, with crisp, refreshing acidity. Concentrated red-berry fruit is layered with floral and subtle spice notes, leading to a long, lingering finish — a captivating expression of old-vine Pinot Noir.
