Bollinger B16 with Giftbox 750ml
 
Bollinger presents B16, a unique and original creation shaped by nature’s challenges, an illustration of the Maison’s expert know-how when crafting a great vintage Champagne. Born from an atypical year of contrasting weather conditions, 2016 – a daring creation composed of more than 70% Pinot Noir – explores the unique aroma profiles to be found in the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims.
 
VINEYARD
Exclusively made from Grands and Premiers Crus, focusing on the latest-ripening areas of the Montagne de Reims.
 
WINEMAKING
Vinified in barrel and aged under natural cork. B16 was cellared for 7 years on the lees, then riddled and disgorged by hand.
 
VINTAGE
2016: A cold and rainy spring followed by a hot, sunny summer. The vine’s demands required the team’s full dedication, before yielding grapes with a unique palette of aromas, allowing the Champagne miracle – a hot summer following a cold, rainy spring – to work its magic.
 
TASTING NOTE
Ethereal and suffused with finesse; a discovery of subtle aromas of white peach and bergamot, opening into notes of ripe fruit and sweet almond.
