The production of Bollinger's PN VZ 19 cuvée in a gift box
The PN VZ 19 cuvée is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, a grape variety that is the cornerstone of the Bollinger style. This blanc de noirs champagne derives its character mainly from grapes grown in Verzenay, complemented by Pinot Noir from the villages of Aÿ, Avenay, Louvois, Mutigny, and Tauxières. The base year is 2019, combined with reserve wines, the oldest of which dates back to 2009. This careful blending gives the cuvée remarkable maturity and complexity.
Vinified with the utmost care, the PN VZ 19 is aged for around five years in the Bollinger cellars. This long ageing allows the aromas to fully develop, while the dosage remains moderate at 6 grams per liter, leaving plenty of room for the pure expression of the fruit.
