Producer Note
Where does the legend of Bollinger begin? Does it start when Lily Bollinger took over the House when her husband died during the war? Or was it even further back, when the House received a Royal Warrant from the Court of England in 1884? Bond fans may argue it was when Ian Fleming featured Bollinger in his fourth James Bond novel, Diamonds are Forever. And the legend begins again each time a bottle is popped.
Tasting Note
The delicate colour of this champagne characterises both the wine’s maturity and Bollinger’s winemaking methods. On the nose, initial scents of almonds and fleshy fruits such as mango combine with citrus notes and grapefruit. On the palate, the citrus notes continue and lead the way for honeyed flavours and a long lasting refreshing finish. A champagne that will age really well.
Grape/Blend
Champagne Blend (65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay)
